Coober Skeber

Nine short stories from the cutting edge of comics. In the spirit of Art Spiegelman's legendary RAW magazine, editor Tom Devlin has handpicked nine of the best "unknown" cartoonists in North America to fill this visually stunning book. A cross-section of the underground scene, Coober Skeber showcases Highwater Books favorites like Ron Rege, Jr. (Skibber Bee-Bye), Greg Cook (Catch as Catch Can), Matt Madden, (Odds Off), James Kochalka (Tiny Bubbles, Kissers), Mat Brinkman (Teratoid Heights) as well as artists Pshaw (Vice magazine, Nickelodeon), David Gavril, Jim Drain (Fort Thunder), and Leif Goldberg (Fort Thunder). Each artist was given sixteen pages and two-colors, and the results are truly extraordinary. Marital infidelity, a farewell party, a nature documentary, fascination with a teen sex-comedy, philosophical musings, a hot rod race, and friendship are all tackled by masters of the art form in this Baedecker's of modern cartooning.
