Volume 7 - 1st printing. Basil Wolverton (1909-1978) born in Central Point, Oregon, later moving to Vancouver, Washington. He worked as a vaudeville performer and a cartoonist and reporter for the Portland News. Wolverton was a master in caricaturing the human face and body and his drawings have elicited a wide range of reactions; he even described himself as a "Producer of Preposterous Pictures of peculiar People who Prowl this Perplexing Planet." Preferring to work with pen and ink, Wolverton's lack of artistic schooling gave his drawings an otherworldly appearance. There was no other artist at the time who drew like him! Harvey Kurtzman felt "Wolverton never borrowed, never hacked, and he never shortchanged the public - Wolverton was an original." In 1991 he was posthumously inducted in the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame and in 2000 in the Will Eisner Hall of Fame. Collects Amazing Mystery Funnies Featuring Space Patrol (December 1939-September 1940), Target Comics Month featuring Spacehawk (June 1940-June 1941), and Weird Tales of the Future (June-September 1952). Softcover, 184 pages, full color. Cover price $32.99.
