While some of the curatorial aspects of this publication leave much to be desired, the work on display here is 100% pure comic books, and we won't hesitate to deliver our thanks to Mr. Yoe and Fantagraphics Books for giving this work a second lease on life and bringing it before a whole new audience who can now get the chance to appreciate the quirky eccentricities and idiosyncrasies and just plain old personality that gets transmuted into four-color folk wisdom here through the magic of lines on paper.  This is an excellent companion piece to the the book, Supermen, also published by Fantagraphics and listed above.  Both publications employ the magic of scanning to provide readers with high quality facsimiles of the original comic book pages with all their inherent aesthetic qualities and quirks intact.  The comics work of Boody Rogers is thoroughly charming in its naive weirdness and is unique in so many ways that it's hard to know where to begin.  Let's just suffice it to say that Rogers's grasp of the vernacular of his time and place combined with his mastery of the craft of cartooning makes for an Americana that's loaded with insights into the quotidian quirks in our nation's character that you'd be hard pressed to find in such an easily assimilable form anywhere else. • edited by Craig Yoe
