The Basil Wolverton Reader, Volume 2
by Basil Wolverton, Greg Theakston
published by Pure Imagination

Believe it or not, this one's even better than the first volume.  Greg Theakston and Co. herein  present us with a true treasure trove of classic Wolverton:  a fistful of Spacehawk strips are complemented by a cartload of Powerhouse Pepper, and then seasoned with healthy doses of lesser known Wolverton creations like Meteor Martin, Splash Morgan, Mystic Moot, Scoop Scuttle, BingBang Buster and more!  Basil Wolverton is one of a handful of true comic geniuses whose work has informed, and continues to influence, the work of countless cartoonists who have followed in his wake, whether they realize it or not (R. Crumb's work owes an ineradicable debt to Wolverton's, and even such disparate artists as Bob Burden and Chris Ware have appropriated bits of Wolvertonia; and that's just for starters; without Wolverton's example Mad  might never have come into being... you get the idea.).  Check out this collection and you'll see what we're talking about.
