The BIG Ralph Bakshi Book is Here!

Last week I got a chance to look through a pre-release copy of the new Ralph Bakshi retrospective art book, Unfiltered.

It was so gorgeous I wanted to run off with it, but I'm sure Steve Worth would not have appreciated that. Anyway, I just found out it's now available, so I ordered one for my very own.

The book is packed with pre-production art from all of the classic Bakshi features, including my favorites, Heavy Traffic, Coonskin and Wizards. It even has some storyboard drawings

from Fire and Ice that look a million times better than the final product. There's also LOTS of personal art from Ralph, and dozens of personal photos that really give you a feel for the man behind the movies.

Here's a video preview of Unfiltered - The Complete Ralph Bakshi I found on YouTube:

With any luck, this book will create some demand so we can finally get Coonskin and Hey Good Lookin' on DVD!

Patsy Pancake from Milt Gross Funnies

As long as we're on a Milt Gross roll, I thought I'd point out that my pal Chris Duffy has scanned his well-worn copy of Milt Gross Funnies #2! This story features Patsy Pancake and Chives the Penguin, and you can read the whole thing over at Chris' Comic Books Are Interesting blog!

A few years ago (in the pre-blogging days), Chris made a xerox photocopy of this story and mailed to me (yes, in the actual US Mail) just so I would have the pleasure of reading it. I just think it's so cool that we can now share with untold thousands of comics fans with less effort than it used took to take to mail it to one!
