BOX SET OF GRAPHIC HIP-HOP CHRONOLOGY RECOUNTING THE BIRTH OF THE OLD SCHOOL

Collecting the third and fourth block-rocking instalments of the Hip Hop Family Tree.

Fantagraphics proudly announce a box set of the third and fourth instalments of Hip Hop Family Tree.

Alongside the two volumes packaged in a slipcase, Piskor's crash-course comic, Understanding Hip Hop and Comics - which documents how the two have intersected over the past 40 years via graffiti, album covers and collaborations between cartoonists and rappers - is exclusive to this set.

Ed Piskor (b. 1982) is an alternative cartoonist living and drawing out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is a former student of the Kubert School and is best known for his artistic collaboration with underground comics pioneer Harvey Pekar, his graphic novel Wizzywig (wizzywigcomics.com), and his blockbuster series Hip Hop Family Tree (Fantagraphics). Piskor is revered for his combination of golden age drawing style and smart storytelling. The Washington Post once said that "Piskor is able to render a world that resonates as truth". Currently, he is knee deep in drawing the next book in the Hip Hop Family Tree five-volume series.
