Soft cover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. First Edition, 1st printing. Introduction by Greil Marcus. "Chuck Death is the nom de guerre of Jon Langford, singer/guitarist in legendary rock band the Mekons and also a painter of growing repute. Colin B. Morton is a writer, musician, and irrepressible satirist who lives in Newport,… Wales, where he and Langford grew up." [] "The comic strips of Morton & Death deliver an irreverent, heartfelt, and devastatingly funny history of rock and roll. Like Monty Python at its best, their version is surreal and ridiculous--yet somehow everything in it rings true. According to Morton & Death, the bass player in Led Zeppelin was Jean-Paul Sartre. And 'despite having been able to think up brilliant titles for their first three albums, Led Zeppelin were stuck for what to call the fourth one--so they put a load of prunes on the front.' In strip after strip, Morton & Death pinpoint the absurdities and oddities of rock history. As for the drawings, their caricatures of rock stars from Mick Jagger to Frank Zappa, Johnny Rotten to Courtney Love, are in themselves worth the price of admission." [publisher copy] "Here, all of pop history is turned into one grand and interlocking pun, with inside dope, fans' legends, and actual truth smeared till the significant is a moment of the trivial, and vice versa."--Greil Marcus. "Even in fish-in-a-barrel territory like the wonderful world of rock, this is pomposity-puncturing at its finest and funniest."--The Independent on Sunday. Pristine paperback, unread AS NEW, w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.
