Publisher's Synopsis

Once upon a time, at two-thirty in the afternoon, on the enchanted island of York, lived a wizard. A mild-mannered, loveable wizard who wore a big hat to mask his identity. Vaughn Bode created in Cheech in 1956 at the age of 15 and the character remained a constant companion for the rest of Bode's life, surfacing in his college paper, underground comix and beyond, even as far as the world of hip hop in the '80s (Cheech also has a design of Puma trainers bearing his image). This deluxe compendium provides a comprehensive overview of one of the world's coolest characters.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
