Pirate Nightmare Vice Explosion Michael Kupperman

Publisher Marketing: Pirate Nightmare Vice Explosion, which excerpts pages from mens magazines of the 1950s and 60s to produce a compendium of the psyche of the American male. Or at least one American male: all the pages are from an anonymous collection, found by comic artist Michael Kupperman, who explains the project in the original introduction to the book. (We're delighted to say that the final book contains an introduction to the book drawn by Michael as a comic strip, but the text below was too good to waste!)

Contributor Bio:  Kupperman, Michael Michael Kupperman has done many illustrations for such publications as Fortune, The New Yorker, and The New York Times. He frequently writes scripts for DC Comics. This is his first book.
