The Lost Worlds of George Metzger 21/5/24

[GoogaMooga]

Fantagraphics kan godt blive inspireret i deres valg af oldies, ind i mellem de mange elendigt tegnede graphic novels. Faktisk er de et af de sidste forlag, der gider, og især deres valg af undergrundstegneserier lyser langt væk af kærlighed til denne type tegneserier. UG's er ikke nemme at få fat i, og selv om de ikke når de astronomiske priser som superheltene får, kan man stadig spare en pæn slat ved at købe deres opsamlinger. Som nu med George Metzger, kendt for "Moondog". Det er forsiden til Moondog #3, der er blevet valgt til deres kommende opsamling, på gaden den 21. maj.
