“Cult” cartoonist Frank Stack is best known as the artist behind Harvey Pekar’s award-winning graphic novel,
(his art was featured in the
r film), and as the creator of the first underground comic book,
.
collects comics—inspired by Stack’s pop culture-filled childhood and travails as a fine arts professor—that ran in
and other publications. (For decades, Stack’s work was published under the pseudonym “Foolbert Sturgeon” to protect his career.) In
, you will find adventuress Dirty Diana; nostalgic time traveler Frank Crankcase; commonsensical Dr. Feelgood; politician Paddy Booshwah; “Southern Fried Homicide”; and a host of Amazons, artists, and pulp heroes, all depicted in Stack’s scratchy, hatchy “crowquill” style. This “best of the rest” is a tribute to a Texan who’s been quietly creating observational, iconoclastic art for more than forty years.
