Passionella and Other Stories: Passionella v.4: Passionella Vol 4 (Feiffer the Collected Works) Book

Presenting the complete works of one of America's great satirists. Feiffer: The Collected Works is a projected 15-volume series bringing together all the cartoons, plays, screenplays, articles, essays, and other writings of one of America's greatest political and social satirists. Volume 4 collects more of Feiffer's great comic strip Sick, Sick, Sick (later renamed Feiffer), the author's first strips for Playboy magazine, and Feiffer's satire on Hollywood sexuality, Passionella. Feiffer has had one of the most varied and illustrious careers of any 20th century cartoonist. For over 40 years he contributed strips to The Village Voice, and has long been a regular contributor to the London Observer and Playboy. An animated cartoon based on his story Munro received an academy award in 1961. In the sixties, he branched into theater, writing several now regarded as classics: Little Murders; Knock, Knock; The White House Murder Case; Elliot Loves; and The Grown-Ups, to name a few. Originally conceived for the stage, his Carnal Knowledge became one of the landmark films of the '70s. He has written two prose novels, Harry the Rat with Women and Ackroyd, as well as a cartoon novel, Tantrum. In the 1990s, Feiffer embarked on yet another career, this time as a children's book author. He has over a half-dozen to his credit, including modern classics like The Man and the Ceiling. Fantagraphics is proud to present such a wide variety of works in one comprehensive series. Volume 4 also includes Feiffer's re-telling of "Cinderella," with Marlon Brando as Prince Charming and Marilyn Monroe in the title role, and "Kept," the story of a man who discovers the secret of seduction.Read More
