Tijuana Bibles: Art and Wit in America's Forbidden Funnies, 1930s-1950sBob Adelman Aboveground for the First Time! As wry and raunchy as the subject it celebrates, this inspired volume introduces a new generation to the Tijuana Bibles, underground comic art from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s devoted to making sexual mockery of every sacred cow in the pasture. Folk art with a subversive edge, the Bibles are unveiled here with a hundred life-size reproductions. |
