Volume 9 - 1st printing. Story and art by Basil Wolverton. Basil Wolverton was born in Central Point, Oregon and later moved to Vancouver, Washington. He worked as a vaudeville performer and a cartoonist and reporter for the Portland News. Wolverton was a master in caricaturing the human face and body and his drawings have elicited a wide range of reactions; he even described himself as a "Producer of Preposterous Pictures of peculiar People who Prowl this Perplexing Planet." Preferring to work with pen and ink, Wolverton's lack of artistic schooling gave his drawings an otherworldly appearance. There was no other artist at the time who drew like him!
