Description

In strip after strip, as originally featured in New Musical Express, Morton and Death pinpoint the absurdities and oddities of rock history. In the process, they often come closer to the truth than conventional accounts do, as well as being much more entertaining. Their caricatures of rock stars from Jagger to Zappa, Johnny Rotten to Courtney Love, are in themselves worth the price of admission. Includes an introduction by Greil Marcus.
