This book is complete with no pages missing, it is a read copy with handling wear. Some pages have minor yellowing with time, no major stains. At the bottom of the glossy cover there is a slightly visible stain,  as well as a more noticeable spot on the next page ( see pictures). Further into the book there are three pages that show a coffee stain. The remaining book is clear. The spine is intact and the pages still grouped.  The spine appears to have been glued at some point. Minor dog earing on some pages but overall in very good condition for a used book that is close to fifty years old.

Vaughn Bodē was an American underground cartoonist and illustrator known for his character Cheech Wizard and his artwork depicting voluptuous women. A contemporary of Ralph Bakshi, Bodē has been credited as an influence on Bakshi's animated films Wizards and The Lord of the Rings.

He is a cult figure and occupies a unique niche: he's both an underground cartoonist and one of the forefathers of graffiti/aerosol art. In 1968, he worked for the underground newspaper East Village Other and edited EVO’s offshoot comics publication, Gothic Blimp Works. In his psychedelic, sci-fi/fantasy comics, he created a "Kilroy" type character, Cheech Wizard, who lives on in story and song (such as in the Beastie Boys'"The Sound of Silence"). Bodé won a Hugo Award in 1969 and a Yellow Kid Award in 1974: he's twice been an Eisner Hall of Fame finalist. Bodé is also remembered for his Cartoon Concert show, which has its final showing at the Louvre in Paris. Although he passed away in 1975, Bodé's legacy was cemented when graffiti greats like Kel 139 and Dondi paid tribute to him.
