Hard Punk Rock band Electric Frankenstein, Yoe Books and Clover Press mash together to bring EF lyrics ALIVE as comics!

Electric Frankenstein asked over 100 artists to create short comics based on the lyrics of their songs. What was born was sometimes beautiful and poetic, but other times just downright disturbing and raw! Judgment will not be passed on what you gravitate towards! All lay between the covers of this book.

Releasing over 100 records all over the world since 1992, Electric Frankenstein is where AC/DC meets The Dead Boys! EF's high energy punk rock and roll combines the raw and energetic sounds of Punk Rock and Garage Punk (Dead Boys, Ramones, Damned, Misfits, Sabbath etc.) with elements of hard rock played by bands like MC5, Stooges, AC/DC, Kiss, Mott the Hoople, Alice Cooper, and so on.

Electric Frankenstein has proved to be highly influential, helping to spark a rock revival among the youth of the time throughout the world from the US to Europe to Scandinavia to Japan, known as the New Rock Revolution.

His art is featured in the nations major natural history museums including the Smithsonian, in galleries, and in books, as well as on immensely popular T-shirts.

Created as a groundbreaking Master of Arts thesis in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University, Teaching Artfully celebrates the role of the arts and emphasizes the importance of personal connection in education. Meghan Parker's debut and insightful graphic novel captures the educator's inquiries, experiences, and challenges. Ultimately Teaching Artfully captivates, inspires, and motivates the reader-all with endearing humor!

NOTE:

"I can't imagine a better catalyst for creativity! I would recommend this to anyone!" - Emil Ferris, Author of My Favorite Thing Is Monsters, multiple Eisner Award winner

"In an era where the arts are often eliminated from K-12 schools and standardized tests along with other impersonal metrics are the measures of student success, Meghan Parker's inquiry into what it means to teach art demonstrates the extraordinary ways art education transforms, connects, and shapes us. Parker brilliantly uses comics as the medium for this self-reflexive examination of how art works and why art education matters. This accessible and engaging book is a welcome addition to the growing body of comics as a mode of scholarly inquiry." - Prof. Carol Tilley, Ph.D. Comics historian, library educator, former high school teacher, and past president of the Comics Studies Society
