About the Author

Vaughn Bodé (pronounced "bo-dee") is considered the king in the world of graphitti/aerosol art. His vast imagination gave birth to entire universes and characters, including Cheech Wizard, Junkwaffel, and many more. Although he passed away in 1975, before the graffiti scene even took off, Bodé's legacy was cemented when graffiti greats like Kel 139 and Dondi actively borrowed from and paid tribute to the underground great. More recently, his work has been referenced in song by hip hop legends like the Beastie Boys. As such, Bodé occupies a truly unique niche in the world of underground comics, embraced by both the hippie counterculture of the 1960s as well as the hip hop community of the 1990s.

3.0 out of 5 stars You have to be a collector...., July 22, 2001
By 
Paul Montani (North Attleborough, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lizard Zen (Paperback)
Okay, so I actually LOVE this book. But, that's because I'm a collector. Anytime a new collection of Vaughn's work comes out, I've not much choice BUT to love it.

This particular book collects a lot of the random strips, advertisements, and unfinished works Vaughn had kicking around. Pretty much everything that hadn't already been put into one of the previous collections (all of which are far superior). Sadly, this book comes off as an excuse to make some more money off the late, great, cartoon guru.

But, I'm okay with that. There's still plently to enjoy. My particular favorites being the four page "lizard zen" section and "the Amorous Adventures of Puck" (the only previously unpublished material in this volume)

If you are NOT a collector - BECOME ONE! (just kidding). Go get some of his stuff and you just might become one, though.

If you're a first timer, try starting with one of the "Erotica" books or the first "Cheech Wizard" collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you love Vaughn Bode, March 3, 2006
This review is from: Lizard Zen (Paperback)
This book is good if you already own other works by Vaughn Bode and love them. The strips in this book are short individual works. Many of the strips in here were created as advertisments for a record label. If you are already a collector of Bode's work get this book, otherwise I'd get Junkwaffle, Cheech Wizard, Schizophrenia, or Deadbone.
