The far-reaching visionary art and surreal stories of Ed Pinsent
have been a central part of British small press comics since the
80s, epitomising a form of personal artistic creation that lies
outside the mainstream in just about every way. The scope of these
tales is vast, influenced as much by Calvino and Borges and other
classical and modern literary traditions as by the history of
comics. This book collects 44 of Pinsent's works into a massive
compendium, personally selected and scanned by the artist. Half of
the book is devoted to his most famous character, the rotund
intellectual and spiritual adventurer Windy Wilberforce. These
range from the early piece 'In the Land of the Jackanapes' to what
may be the most spectacular work of all, 'The Saga of the Scroll' -
long out of print and available for the first time in this larger
format.
