Review
“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
“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
“A 144-page whopper, rich in humor and dreamlike oddities.”
- Michael H. Price, Fort Worth Business Press
“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
“[Rogers’s] imagination was clearly light year beyond many of his contemporaries...a cartoonist’s cartoonist.”
- Brian Heater, The Daily Cross Hatch
“Publisher Fantagraphics has restored the color and images to its typical standards of quality...not to mention standards of unapologetic weirdness.”
- The Oklahoma Gazette
“Funny with a touch of madness.”
- The Onion A.V. Club
“Boody: The Bizarre Comics of Boody Rogers is 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
“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
