A futuristic punk ventures through a madcap, dystopian fantasia in this astounding work of comics literature by a celebrated artist and illustrator. Gary Panter is one of Americas great creative forces: the illustrator for the trailblazing punk magazine Slash, set designer for the legendary TV show Pee-wees Playhouse, and one of the wildest, most innovative comics artists of all time. Jimbo: Adventures in Paradise is a leap into the uproarious life of Panters ever-cheerful punk everyman, Jimbo, and a perfect introduction to Panters ever-shifting style. Amid a jumbled cityscape of rundown New York City streets and futuristic Los Angeles freeways, Jimbo crowd-surfs at a riot, makes amends with Ernie Bushmillers Nancy, and rescues his pal Smoggos sister from giant cockroaches, all while the world teeters between extravagance and apocalypse. Veering from the crude to the elegant, the wise to the funny, Jimbo: Adventures in Paradise proves Panter is a master of cartooning, and still way ahead of the rest of us.About author(s):Gary Panter is a highly influential comics artist, painter, illustrator, and designer.
