Peter Bagge has taken on many number of topics: suburbia, the media, teenage angst, and nerds. Dark Horse is releasing a collection of his most controversial subject matter yet - the Founding Fathers! “I find myself laughing out loud whenever I read of their foibles, especially when their oversized egos clashed,” says Bagge, a multiple Harvey Award winner and Inkpot Award recipient. Additional praise includes comic art legend Robert Crumb: “I can count on one hand the number of comic artists whose work is as strong . . . Maybe on two or three fingers.”
This release of short vignettes spotlights some of our country’s best-known historical figures (along with several lesser-known players) and includes all Founding Fathers Funnies cartoons from Apocalypse Nerd and Dark Horse Presents. This new release also includes some biographical information and some rather neat extras that you can only find in this collection.Founding Fathers Funnies is in stores February 24, 2016.
