DESCRIPTION:
The second collection of strips from the man (well, teenager at the time) who was there, and lived to tell about it in comic form. There being Southern California, in the heyday of punk and hardcore in the early-mid ‘80s. Truly superb, and laugh-out-loud funny.. While a little older now (give or take 20 years), Walsby mines those early punker experiences, and those of growing up a nerd, for a series of hilarious, pointed, and largely autobiographical cartoons on the likes of touring with the Descendents, Ronald Reagan, coffee shops, high school traumas, bowling, hair-metal, overrated records, SST, Bl’ast, the Monkees, Peanuts, straight-edge et al
. Brian Walsby has been a preiminent comic artist in the punk rock scene since the early eighties and MANCHILD is his collection of comics and artwork
"Brian Walsby is the underground's answer to R. His art hilariously cuts to the honest bone leaving no prisoners." (Buzz Osborne, The Melvins) . Crumb." (Chunklet Magazine)"Brian Walsby is brutal
SdFjr said You Need This. Great stuff. You need all three of these. The third one with the Melvins story is my personal favorite. I haven't seen anything better on the band. It is like a documentary but better because its a comic. They eat at Cracker Barrel, Buzz watches Lawrence of Arabia. It is wonderful stuff. His stories and drawings are honest and approachable.
