Basil Wolverton’s distinctive style, a bizarre combination of the grotesque and whimsicalmade him one of the most polarizing artists in comic history, but gained a strong cult following among comics fans at the same time. The man is notorious for his unforgettable depictions of wacky, grotesque and ugly people. His artwork has often been described as \"spaghetti and meatballs\", while he referred to himself as a \"producer of preposterous pictures of peculiar people who prowl this perplexing planet\". Yet he didn\'t just draw \"ugly\". His seemingly disgusting and repulsive illustrations still illuminate a certain fun and charm. Naturally his style suited comedy and horror the best.His career spanned myriad companies and genres.He created humorous comics like \'Powerhouse Pepper\' (1942-1952), visualized the previously invisible character Lena Hyena for Al Capp\'s \'Li\'l Abner\' and designed the hideous woman on the cover of Mad Magazine\'s 11th issue, arguably the most iconic cover in its history. Wolverton drew various chilling one-shot horror stories for comic books like Mystic, Journey Into Unknown Worlds, Adventures Into Terror, Weird Tales of the Future and Weird Mysteries. He also proved he had more up his sleeve than shock and shlock alone. The artist illustrated various chapters of The Old Testament. While not all people may like his aesthetic view, few can deny that Wolverton had a highly original, unique and instantly recognizable style which still influences artists today. He remains the godfather of all \"gross-out\" cartoonists andwas a significant influence on Robert Crumb and other underground comic artists in the 1960s.

Fromthe great pre-code comics of the forties, namely TargetComics, Basil Wolverton in Space is a must-read for fans of great retroscience-fiction.Presented in glorious Black & White... BasilWolverton’s Space stories are filled with battles with space pirates, a widearray of monsters, lovesick femme fatales, and a planetary tyrant… and ofcourse Spacehawk!! Spacehawk is super-powerful, virtually infallible, andequipped with a neat array of technological gadgets which include amentally-controlled spaceship. Basil Wolverton\'s star-faring superhero returns alongwith Meteor Morgan, Jumpin\' Jupiter, Rocket Rider, Milt Archer, and SupersonicSammy. Awesome!!
