review 1: Autobiographical comic about a a young lads fears of religion and some sort of crazy OCD which made rays shoot out of his penis and turn lots of household objects into cocks.From 1972, it is meant to be the first autobiog comic and is raved about by some of the big players like Crumb and Spiegleman, the latter stating that without this book, MAUS would never have been written. ShockedThis edition is printed from the original artwork and all the pencil lines and tippex marks are there to see. The hardback cover is gorgeous too, can't really see it on any photos.Not one to buy, check the library, but worth a read just to see how much he struggled with his demons and to see a pretty important piece of comic book history.
review 2: R Crumb fans take note--the simil... morearities are clear (though Green isn't as goofy as Crumb). I'm no comic historian, but I'm fairly sure that this started the long-bio-based comics that we're all now pretty familiar with. The very first panel (full page, and with nudity!) will tell you if you can handle the whole thing (some 40+ pages), which is a raw account of sexual shame stemming from a Catholic upbringing. Green withholds nothing. less
