Boody
“[Rogers’s] imagination was clearly light year beyond many of his contemporaries…a cartoonist’s cartoonist.” (Brian Heater - The Daily Cross Hatch)“Nearly everyone who’s come across his work had come away an admirer…Boody Rogers's comics are truly unlike anything else.” (Michael C. Lorah - Newsarama)“Funny with a touch of madness.” (The Onion A.V. Club)“Rogers defiantly was ahead of his time, demonstrating more zeal for the medium than much of his contemporaries.” (Rod Lott - Bookgasm)“If anyone is a comic-book pioneer, it’s Boody Rogers.” (Gordon Flagg - Booklist)“Boody: The Bizarre Comics of Boody Rogersis a real revelation... Boody Rogers' stories... don't seem to follow narrative structure. They're like Robert Crumb crossed with Li'l Abner. And they are amazing. This is the book to get if you think you know anything about comic book history; it will show you something you never would have thought existed.” (Paul Constant - The Stranger)“If Hanks’s stories were fascinating for their anger, lunacy, and wild urgency, then these rediscovered gems are a revelation for being every bit as strange, but seemingly on purpose. It’s akin to David Bowie coming along and taking the unstoppable id of The Ramones and The Stooges and crafting something much more complex and layered... Get it together, America.  Check out this strange book and dare to dream, one last time, because dark days are ahead, and when the bullets start flying you’ll wish you spent more time laughing.” (Tom Batten - Brick Weekly)“Publisher Fantagraphics has restored the color and images to its typical standards of quality...not to mention standards of unapologetic weirdness.” (The Oklahoma Gazette)“Boody Rogers’s work was and is a visual storm front that keeps you turning pages. I only wish our more legitimate fine art doyens and high cultured dictators of today could bring themselves down to this level of imaginative epiphany.” (Robert Williams, artist and author of Malicious Resplendence and Hysteria in Remission)“A 144-page whopper, rich in humor and dreamlike oddities.” (Michael H. Price - Fort Worth Business Press)“This is one of the funniest comics I’ve ever read, and all I do is read comics…Just looking at his drawings makes me laugh…This book is essential. Get it or get out.” (Nick Gazin - Vice)“Boody's absurdism is patently blue-collar. There is nothing heady or cynical or mean-spirited in these strips. They owe far more to the tradition of wives tales and folk legends than Kafka. As their syndication would likely demand, Boody’s bizarre comics are Golden Age nuggets of an off-kilter author who found a particular release in his medium.” (Erik Hinton - PopMatters)“Utterly fantastic.” (Mike Carey, author of Unwritten)
