First edition hardback published without a dustjacket. This is a large sized book – magazine sized. “The far-reaching visionary art and surreal stories of Ed Pinsent have been a central part of British small press comics since the 80s, epitomising a form of personal artistic creation that lies outside the mainstream in just about every way. The scope of these tales is vast, influenced as much by Calvino and Borges and other classical and modern literary traditions as by the history of comics. This book collects 44 of Pinsent’s works into a massive compendium, personally selected and scanned by the artist. Half of the book is devoted to his most famous character, the rotund intellectual and spiritual adventurer Windy Wilberforce. These range from the early pieces In the Land of the Jackanapes to what may be the most spectacular work of all, The Saga of the Scroll – long out of print and available for the first time in this larger format.” This is a VERY HEAVY book.
