Vaughn Bode and Cartooning


Had he managed to escape the fate that befell him, Vaughn Bode would be Seventy Seven years old!

That just doesn't compute but in a time, when even the seemingly immortal Stan Lee eventually fell to the reaper and it has been seven long years, since Jeffrey Catherine Jones left us, perhaps I shouldn't be surprised!

Vaughn was a wonderful cartoonist and I have been studying his works for the past forty plus years.

Here is an example of the type of dissecting that I do:


I hope, that in some small way, I can be of help, to other students of cartooning and perhaps speed up their own understanding, of this very special area of the graphic arts.

    both books in a slipcase ..."Here at last are these two wonderful stories available as a two book numbered slipcased set each individually signed by Roger Zelazny.
    Edition Limited to 1,000 Signed Copies. 2 Book Slipcased"
