Gilbert Shelton Orden de los libros

The third release in our Freak Brothers Follies series follows the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers back to their hippie origins! The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers ― Freewheelin’ Franklin, Phineas, and Fat Freddy ― score some sinsemilla from a country cousin, start a softball league to score free drinks, adopt a possessed parakeet that outwits the D.E.A., and inadvertently take in a couple of undercover cops as housemates! The title story collects an epic that ran for over six months in newspapers, in which the Brothers, evicted from their apartment, move to the country to get back to nature ― only to discover that nature doesn’t want them! Meanwhile, Fat Freddy’s Cat adapts much more readily to outdoor living. Then, in a bonus tale, the cat leads the way in the accidental animal rights adventure, “Animal Camp.” Grass Roots and Other Follies is the third release in this special series of seven volumes compiling the complete Freak Brothers comic adventures.  The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comics have sold more than 45 million copies worldwide in 16 languages, and these painstakingly restored hardcovers are the first North American bookshelf editions in more than thirty years. The Freak Brothers , the popular animated series currently streaming on Tubi ― and renewed for season 2, set to release in December 2022 ― stars Woody Harrelson, Pete Davidson, John Goodman, and Tiffany Haddish. Full-color illustrations throughout

In den späten 60ern war San Francisco nicht nur der Dreh- und Angelpunkt der Hippieszene, sondern auch der amerikanischen Underground-Comix. 1968 zog es auch den Comiczeichner Gilbert Shelton nach „Frisco“, wo er mit anderen den Underground-Verlag „Rip Off Press“ ins Leben rief – die legendäre Heimstatt der meisten Underground-Hefte jener Zeit. Seine bekannteste Schöpfung und ein weltweiter Bestseller wurden die Stories der drei drogenaffinen, zotteligen Hippie-Aussteiger Phineas, Free Wheelin‘ Franklin und Fat Freddy, der „Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers“. Die chaotischen Abenteuer dieser Hippie-WG gehören selbst nach 50 Jahren zu den bekanntesten und lustigsten US-Comics aller Zeiten. Der avant-verlag hat alle je erschienenen Comicstrips der Freak Brothers, sämtliche Cover, Werbeposter, viele Illustrationen und rare Fundstücke zu einer belebenden Wundertüte zwischen zwei Buchdeckeln gedreht. Die ultimative Freak Brothers-Gesamtausgabe in zwei Bänden!

Radical America, a journal affiliated with Students for a Democratic Society published a memorable "underground comix" edition in 1969. Its principal artist and editor, Gilbert Shelton, whose Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers would be enjoyed in many editions across the world, brought to the project his Texas pals Frank Stack and Jack Jaxon. Also on hand, among others, were Chicago comics innovators Jay Lynch and Skip Williamson. Together, these and other contributors issued a veritable artistic manifesto: a new vernacular art had arrived A half century after its original appearance, Radical America Komiks retains its rebellious spirit and its rollicking humor.

Yes! Fifty years, 16 languages, 40 million sales since "The Rag" in Austin, Texas. This souvenir extravaganza contains brand-new strips and an up-to-date interview with Shelton. A fitting complement to "The Freak Brothers Omnibus."

Gilbert Shelton is the creator of the multi-million selling Freak Brothers and Fat Freddy's Cat. Wonder Wart-Hog was his earliest creation and probably still his favourite. The character has appeared over the years in publications varying from Drag Cartoons to Zap Comix as well as several comics of his own. There is even a Wonder Wart-Hog motocross team!

Fat Freddy's Cat began life as a footnote strip to the Freak Brothers and later appeared in many comics of his own. He is often to be found sleeping on the unfortunate Fat Freddy's head. His constant battles with the never-ending army of roaches out for world domination drive him to distraction, as does Fat Freddy's never-ending failure to feed him or empty his kitty litter box. This cat has variously gone travelling to Mexico, saved the world from alien invasion and worked as a government agent in Washington trying to save the world from the hee hee hee' drug.'

All the Freak Brothers stories, book covers, posters and merchandise collected together in one big volume. The definitive Freak Brothers book for years to come.

Ein Klassiker - ohne Frage - aus Zeiten, als man noch versuchte, das Glück der Erde auf spirituellem Weg zu erreichen. Okay, manche Träume gingen in Rauch auf;0)
