Scrublands - Softcover

by John Daly
Fantagraphics Books is proud to announce the debut collection of John Daly, the first book the company has published by a South African cartoonist. Daly's cartoons, offbeat, hallucinatory, and often hilarious, seems descendant from the substance-induced work of Robert Crumb, Gilbert Shelton, Victor Moscoso, and S. Clay Wilson, filtered through the artist's own unique vision and sense of the absurd. Stories alternate between full-color and black-and-white, and range from representational Jim Jarmusch-like scenarios to wild visual excursions, albeit linear ones.

Joe Daly is a cartoonist from South Africa. Born in London, he studied animation for two years at Cape Town's City Varsity College. His work has been described as "Tintin Meets the Freak Brothers in the Cape of Good Dope." His books include Scrublands, The Red Monkey Double Happiness Book, and Dungeon Quest.
