A massive collection of "apocalyptic images and midnight apparitions" by 42 comic-book / graphic novel artists. The title is a pun on the Nazi-era German phrase "entartete kunst" ("degenerate art") From the publisher: "ENTARTETE KUNTS is a spectacular collection of underground artwork written and curated by Dennis Dread, featuring a foreword by acclaimed underground comix historian Patrick Rosenkranz. A total orgy of imagery featuring nearly 400 full color reproductions from 42 international artists". Although there is no stated limitation the print-run of the hardcover edition was certainly small as it is seldom seen. It was presumably smaller than that of the softcover, which was apparently limited to 600 copies. A bit of light bumping to corners and spine ends else "as new" thus a tight, bright near Fine copy in mylar protected near Fine dust jacket. NOTE: Very large and heavy volume will require considerable additional shipping on any international order and may require additional shipping for US domestic orders. Item #69260
