Brain Bats of Venus: The Life and Comics of Basil Wolverton – Basil Wolverton and Greg Sadowski

This volume continues Sadowski’s biography of the famed Mad cartoonist, including scores of letters between Wolverton and his editors and publishers, and excerpts from his personal diaries that provide documentary insight not only into Wolverton’s day-to-day life and career, but also the inner workings of the early comic book industry. It’s also chock full of Wolverton’s comics stories from this period, including 17 science-fiction and horror tales fully restored and never before collected in a single volume, with full-color illustrations throughout.
