Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see directly inside someone’s brain? Not the squishy, slimy physical organ itself, but their innermost thoughts, fears, sorrows, fantasies, their darkest moments, and their brightest ideas? Woman & Man + is your chance to see for yourself how truly screwed up one’s synapses can be when left unchecked.
Don’t expect any kind of linear storytelling. The brainwaves work like surreal dreams. Most of the time, nothing really seems to make any sense. It’s hard enough for one’s own brain to interpret one’s own waking thoughts clearly. Imagine trying to interpret the symbolism pouring out of someone else’s brain, especially Craig Yoe’s!
Who is Craig Yoe?
What is Craig Yoe?
Well, if you don’t know going in, you will by by the end of this book.
Intimately.
Craig Yoe is a hero of mine, both artistically and otherwise. He’s been a comics fan, an art collector, a preacher, a toymaker, a graphic designer, a Muppet executive, a publisher, an author, an editor, an aging hippie, and most recently an international bon vivant, but at the end of the day, Craig Yoe is an arteest.
Craig created his first underground comic book more than half a century ago. Woman & Man + is his second. As you might imagine, a lot has happened between these two publications—a lot! And it’s all here, presented in the unique Yoe style that echoes the legendary classic underground artists from Rick Griffin and R. Crumb to the eccentric surreality of painter Salvador Dali.
Conventional wisdom in the comics field tells us that underground comix died out in the ‘70s, replaced by indie mags such as Arcade, Weirdo, and Eightball. Turns out that underground comix in all their sticky, ugly, gory, insane beauty have secretly been alive all along, trapped inside Craig Yoe’s brain and longing, squirming, aching to get out! They’re out!
You have been warned.
