Basil Wolverton – The Wolverton Bible – First printing, Fantagraphics, 2009
Artist: Basil Wolverton
Full title: The Wolverton Bible: The Old Testament & Book of Revelation Through the Pen of Basil Wolverton
Compilation: Monte Wolverton
Foreword: Grant Geissman
Publisher: Fantagraphics Books
Edition: First Fantagraphics printing, March 2009
ISBN: 978-1-56097-964-7

Remarkable work devoted to a lesser-known facet of Basil Wolverton’s oeuvre, an American illustrator renowned for his grotesque style, his extravagant creatures, and his extremely detailed pen work. If Wolverton is notably known among comic book fans for his contributions to MAD, LIFE, and PAGEANT, this volume gathers his illustrations dedicated to biblical narratives, produced for the publications of the Worldwide Church of God.
Compiled by his son Monte Wolverton and preceded by an introduction by Grant Geissman, the book brings together illustrations from the Old Testament, images inspired by the Book of Revelation, and humorous drawings associated with these publications.
The contrast between religious themes and Wolverton’s distinctive graphic style gives the collection a singular interest. His meticulous linework, bustling compositions, and apocalyptic visions make it an engaging book for both illustration enthusiasts and collectors of American comics.
Published by Fantagraphics Books, this copy bears the note “First Fantagraphics printing: March, 2009” on the copyright page, confirming that this is the publisher’s first printing.
Hardcover with an illustrated dust jacket. The copy presents a handsome overall appearance, close to near mint. The precise condition of the inner pages and any signs of wear should be assessed from the detailed photographs.
An original and well-documented volume intended for collectors of Basil Wolverton, American comics, and fantastical illustration.
Tracked and careful shipping.
