Yeagle's broad body of work, such as his work for Playboy, his Cookie Crisp ad campaign work, pin-ups, concept work for his graphic novel Harry Johnson, and other rare pieces are collected in this gorgeous artbook.

Melotoons #2 also includes a reprint of Gary Griffith's interesting Cleveland Magazine interview with Crumb from 1972. 8.5" x 10.5", 24 pages, B&W. Print run unknown. Mature Readers.
