The controversial cartoonist Rory Hayes was a self-taught dynamo of the San Francisco underground comics revolution, emerging as comics' great primitive, creating genuinely horrifying and hallucinatory comics. This book, the first retrospective of Hayes' career ever published, features the best of his underground comics output alongside paintings, covers, and artifacts rarely seen by human eyes - as well as astounding, previously unprinted comics from his teenage years and movie posters for his numerous homemade films, and a biography and critique with a memoir of growing up with Rory by his brother, the illustrator Geoffrey Hayes, a rare interview with Hayes himself, and a career-spanning essay by Edward Pouncey.
