Basil Wolverton's "THE APOCALYPSE"

In 1956, my favorite wacky comic artist (and that's saying a lot because I don't really like comics very much), Basil Wolverton, illustrated a biblical pamphlet called "1975 in Prophecy". It's pretty grotesque, but very indicative of Woverton's "spaghetti and meatball style" of comic art. I really prefer his earlier, zanier work in the Powerhouse Pepper series, but that's just me. Somebody should buy the Fantagraphics collection, because I'm cheap and don't want to do it myself.

Hollywood Jesus has more images from the booklet.
