Art from Basil Wolverton's Bible

Here's a preview of the artwork from old-school underground comix genius Basil Wolverton's The Wolverton Bible, which look appropriately groovy and sinister (compare with The Manga Bible and Robert Crumb's Book of Genesis -- the latter being very intriguing, though the publisher brushed me off when I asked to have my name put down for a look at an early review copy).

Wolverton makes my tongue roll out and my eyes pop like one of his fantastic people. My god, the stunning technique and the attention to detail is just unmatched.

Denying a review copy of a book of cartoons to a BBer is going to rank right up there with M&M's declining a product placement in Steven Spielberg's ET.

It's nice to know that Cory gets brushed off by publishers when he asks for review copies, too.

The book has been out since at least January.
