The first-ever collection by the underground's most notorious modern primitive

The controversial cartoonist Rory Hayes was a self-taught dynamo of the San Francisco underground comics revolution. Attracting equal parts derision and praise (the latter from the likes of R. Crumb and Bill Griffith), Hayes emerged as comics' great primitive, drawing horror comics in a genuinely horrifying and halucinatory manner. He has influenced a generation of cartoonists, from RAW to Fort Thunder and back again.

This book, the first retrospective of Hayes' career ever published, features the best of his underground comics output alongside paintings, covers, and artifacts rarely seen by human eyes—as well as astounding, previously unprinted comics from his teenage years and movie posters for his numerous homemade films. The Comics and Art of Rory Hayes also serves as a biography and critique with a memoir of growing up with Rory by his brother, the illustrator Geoffrey Hayes, and a career-spanning essay by Edward Pouncey. Also included is a rare interview with Hayes himself.

"Rory Hayes was the real thing; a genuine 'outsider' artist working alongside his more self-aware compatriots in the heady days of the San Francisco Underground Comix scene of the 1960s and '70s. His work retains its raw, primitive power to this day, teetering precariously between chaos and control, madness and oddly endearing teddy bears."—Bill Griffith.

A new century, maybe, but what the mainstream media sees as womens interests' remains totally predictable. Inappropriate Behaviour is a collection by writers who neither wish to be Bridget Jones or look like Jennifer Aniston, nor do they want to experience plastic surgery or winter in Taos or make things with radiccio. Subject matter? Molls, mothers, Satanism, Kenneth Anger, and slash-lit.

Inspired by Naomi Klein's No Logo, Inappropriate Behaviour rejects the globalization of culture. It asserts the individual's right to live, dress and party in ways that reflect personal choices and not the commercial dictates of style'. It is essential reading for all women who refuse to sell their souls for a pair of Manolo Blahniks and don't want to to live on nouvelle cuisine.

Contributors include: Debbie Barham, Jessica Berens, Penny Birch, Jenny Blythe, Mikita Brottman, Lydia Lunch, Annabel Chong, Tama Janowitz.
