More about the book

Acclaimed cartoonist Mark Newgarden debuted in RAW magazine in 1980, quickly gaining recognition across various media. He co-created the "Garbage Pail Kids" phenomenon, wrote and drew a weekly humor feature in the '90s, and produced a "Web Premiere Toon" for The Cartoon Network titled "B. Happy." Currently, he is developing an unconventional Christmas special for the network. Newgarden's comics are a blend of humor and avant-garde storytelling, seamlessly integrating classic gags with innovative narratives. His syndicated strips in publications like L.A. Weekly and The New York Press garnered a dedicated following and significantly influenced the comic medium. This book primarily compiles his syndicated comics, alongside long-form stories from anthologies, including the acclaimed "Love's Savage Fury." It provides a comprehensive view of Newgarden as an artist, his influences, and his diverse careers. As a collector and historian of 20th-century ephemera, he has enriched the mediums of novelties, comics, and cartoons. Edited by Dan Nadel and designed by Helene Silverman, this book promises to be a humorous and engaging exploration that will resonate with comics enthusiasts, pop culture aficionados, and graphic arts admirers alike.
