Institute 193 and J.T. Dockery have teamed up to raise $1,000 to publish a star-studded, limited edition excerpt from Spud Crazy–a graphic novel by Dockery and Nick Tosches.
Here’s more about the project: “Our limited ‘art-edition’ version will include 40 illustrated pages with an essay written by Bob Levin, author of ‘The Pirates and the Mouse: Disney’s War Against the Counterculture’ and ‘Outlaws, Rebels, Freethinkers, Pirates & Pornographers’ among other titles. Richard Hell, the frontman of the early punk rock band Richard Hell & The Voidoids, and an accomplished novelist will write an introduction for the book. Spud Crazy will also be accompanied by a musical soundtrack composed by J.T. Dockery, Robert Beatty, Justin Eslinger, and Brian Manley otherwise known as the Spud Imperials. The book will be printed as an oversize ‘comic’ measuring 9″ x 12″ and will be sealed in a printed glassine envelope.”
