Great Pop Things

A comic-book collection that brilliantly depicts the story of rock & rollthats how Rolling Stone summed up Great Pop Things. Colin Morton and Chuck Deaths comic strips, serialized over several years in LA Weekly, offer a heartfelt and devastatingly funny history of rock. Like Monty Python, their version is surreal and ridiculousyet somehow it all rings true. As they pinpoint the absurdities and oddities of rock history, the authors come closer to its truth than most conventional accountsand theyre way more entertaining. The caricaturesof rock figures from Mick Jagger to Captain Beefheart, Johnny Rotten to Courtney Loveare priceless. Chuck Death is a pseudonym of musician/artist Jon Langford (Nashville Radio).
