Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Famous as Alan Moore's collaborator on Swamp Thing and supreme, Veitch also publishes comics he wholly creates, including some called Rare Bit Fiends in homage to comics pioneer Winsor McCay's pre-Little Nemo in Slumberland strip, Dream of the Rarebit Fiend. Like McCay's work, they record dreams. But Veitch draws his own dreams. The third Rare Bit Fiends collection gathers those of his early 1970s youth, when he was "on the run from a paternity claim, penniless and unemployable, morally bankrupt, a physical wreck, and . . . emotionally drained." To him the dreams are clearly therapeutic and predictive, and they enabled him to launch his comics career. He had begun a lasting interest in Jungian dream analysis just before he had them, and his concluding annotation of them reveals their symbolical ministry to him. They constitute a far freer-form narrative than that of such merely dreamlike comics as The Maxx, but not a boring one, especially for ardent dream analysts, whose numbers may swell a bit, thanks to Veitch's excellent drawing.

Product Description
Thirty years ago, Rick Veitch was a young man on the verge. Physically and emotionally exhausted from a wild and misspent youth, he'd fallen into a deep depression. Unable even to get out of bed, Veitch experienced a series of dreams that were so overwhelmingly powerful and rich in archetypal content, he was compelled to write them down in detail. Instinctively using the raw material from his own unconscious as a guide, Veitch worked his way out of depression and found the path he needed to realize his life goal of becoming an artist. Decades later, as a well known cartoonist and dreamworker, he revisited these early dream journals, illustrating them as chapters in a graphic novel for his Eisner-nominated comic series, Rare Bit Fiends. Collected for the first time in book form, Cryptoo Zoo is a deeply personal, harrowing and ultimately life affirming triumph of comic art that places the reader inside the maelstrom of what Carl Jung called a "confrontation with the unconscious."
