Stations of a prophet

 

One of my multipanel comix from around 1979. Read on for the story and more art. Click on the art for a bigger image.

 

My first multi-panel comix from 1977. In fact it was drawn the day Elvis died. Read on for the saga of Bozo Soofi Mystical Instruction Comix, coming soon to a night stand near you...

A raft of comix old and new on a cold February day

In 1977 I was sitting in my studio the day Elvis died, and was inspired to make a comix in honor of the event. It was the first time I had done the multipanel thing. I liked it and continued to do it for a few years. In 1981 my brother-in-law Dana Rotegard fronted the money to publish a book I called Bozo Soofi Mystical Instruction Comix : Propaganda for the Sleepers. A copy of it was on Art Speigelman's coffee table for a while in the early 80's. It was reviewed in a few places and was included in the collector's guide to American underground comix in 1984, which resulted in selling quite a few copies to collectors. I decided to upload a few of the panels here today to share the damn things.

Also, I started drawing again for the first time in over 20 years. I include one of my recent "new improved" Bozo Soofi comix at the end of this group.

If for some reason you want a copy of the book (11 x 14 inch, coated paper, black and white, signed by the author, first edition) it is available from me for $30 plus $6 shipping etc. You can get three for free shipping. There are only a few dozen left from an original print run of 2000 so act fast. C'mon, act faster. Faster!

This is a 21st century new improved Bozo Soofi comix panel. I created it by making drawings from very recent newspaper photos I liked or thought went together at some level. Actually one photo is from a 1964 LIFE magazine ad and the pieta is from a 16th century Italian painting. Oh well, you get the idea.
