Amid a jumbled cityscape of rundown New York City streets and futuristic Los Angeles freeways, Jimbo crowd-surfs at a riot, makes amends with Ernie Bushmiller's Nancy, and rescues his pal Smoggo's sister from giant cockroaches, all while the world teeters between extravagance and apocalypse. <p/>Veering from the crude to the elegant, the wise to the funny, <i>Jimbo: Adventures in Paradise</i> proves Panter is a master of cartooning, and still way ahead of the rest of us.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Gary Panter is deeply good, wise, and humble, despite possessing an inimitable sense of line and color, an extraterrestrial imagination, and a direct pipeline to his kid self. I'd say he was my role model if I could only aspire that high." --Luc Sante <p/>"<i>Jimbo: Adventures in Paradise</i> is a Panter essential, a comics game changer, and one of my absolute favorites of his many mind-altering masterpieces. Punk rock becomes a symphony, panels blend and create an abstract pool, both shocking and refreshing." --Leslie Stein <p/>"Is <i>Jimbo: Adventures in Paradise</i> another mind-blowing, oversized masterpiece from the legendary ink-spattered Gary Panter? I say yes. And I also say: Collect Them All!" --Matt Groening <p/>"[Gary Panter's paradise] may be hectic and gross, but it's also lively and comic and kinetic and crawling with ideas. . . [<i>Jimbo</i> is] a reminder, too, that late twentieth-century American culture was so rich even its dystopian nightmares were feasts." --Jackson Arn, <i>Art in America</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Gary Panter</b> is a highly influential comics artist, painter, illustrator, and designer.
