What I love about so much of Frank Kozik's work is that on first glance you see a sweet image, but when you start looking at details you see just how twisted they really are! The work in this book is no exception, starting with the cover image of a boy swinging with a giant roach and a leg brace! In fact, I think new things come out with each viewing.

This is a great book to have on your coffee table to get conversation flowing. Very high quality too!

5.0 out of 5 stars An overview of the early years of poster artist Frank Kozik., August 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Man's Ruin (Paperback)

This wonderful volume covers the first 12 years of poster Artist Frank Kozik's career. Covers every phase of this lowbrow artist savant's development: from the early punk rock photocopies to the newer, wildly colorful and imaginative silk-screen designs. Kozik's work has brought rock poster art back into the forefront. A must have for any poster collector.
