The Protong, first published by Bray in 1980, was the first book in 50 years to bring Szukalski’s work to the light of the American public. It is a modest selection from the thousands of drawings in the Zermatism oeuvre. The Work of Szukalski (Covici-McGee, 1923) and Projects in Design (University of Chicago Press, 1929) showed the young Szukalski’s strength as artist-sculptor. This book combines those vitalities and steps beyond the accepted rules-for-artists in that it is divinely idiosyncratic and wholly unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sPkoW4cmqT8\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanislav Szukalski","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12446566449200,"sku":"BEHO","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1657\/9861\/products\/Behold_The_Protong_Front_Cover1280.jpg?v=1551132424"},{"product_id":"struggle-the-art-of-szukalski","title":"Struggle: The Art of Szukalski","description":"\u003cp\u003eA new printing of Last Gasp’s publication Struggle: The Art of Szukalski, with a foreword by George and Leonardo DiCaprio, presents an overview of Szukalski’s best sculpture and drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSzukalski (1893-1987) was one of the great sculptors of the 20th Century.\u003cbr\u003eSzukalski was a Polish-born sculptor, writer, graphic artist, and heretic.

Crumb himself has called the retrospective “a great book” and “the definitive work on the subject.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \"low-brow\" counterpoint to Art Spiegelman and Francoise Mouly's rather high-falootin’ RAW, Weirdo influenced an entire generation of cartoonists, and served as a creative refuge for underground comix veterans and training ground for new creators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book features the comprehensive story of the fondly-recalled magazine, along with testimonials from over 130 of the mag's contributors, plus interviews with Weirdo’s three editors ― R. “Keep on Truckin’” Crumb, Peter “Hate” Bagge, and Aline “The Bunch” Kominsky-Crumb ― as well as publisher “Baba Ron” Turner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 288-page hardcover book is as much a comprehensive history of the alternative comics scene of the 1980s and early ’90s ― from New York City punk to Seattle grunge ― as it is the story of a single magazine, an exhaustive retrospective that includes rare and unseen artwork from that era, as well as new comics from modern-day artists paying homage to the great oddball mag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn its time, the periodical featured the finest work of many artists, particularly the best material by R. Crumb himself, Weirdo's founder and best known for ZAP Comix, Fritz the Cat, and Mr. Natural, and a man widely heralded as the greatest cartoonist of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1981, amidst a seismic shift to the right in the country, Crumb responded by unleashing the savagely irreverent and satirical Weirdo onto the great multitude, and he generously welcomed to its pages not just his ZAP Comix underground cohorts, but also an entirely new generation of iconoclastic cartoonists. It was an irreverent, outrageous, often politically-incorrect, and taboo-challenging anthology that showcased Crumb's finest ― and most controversial ― material. It was gut-busting, hysterical, and frequently offensive. But, most of all, it was FUNNY! Though it finally gave up the ghost by 1993, in its time, Weirdo was one of the very best of its kind… a showcase for outsiders, freaks, and (naturally) weirdos.
