Writer/artist Rick Veitch's career bridges the underground comix of the
1970s, mainstream DC and Vertigo Comics, and the self-publishing
revolution of the 1980s and 1990s. In that extraordinary body of work,
Brat Pack(R) remains a landmark, and Teen Angels & New Mutants is the
first book-length, in-depth study of a creator and graphic novel worthy
of the autopsy. En route, Teen Angels offers a crash-course on teen pop
culture and superhero sidekick history, fresh analysis of Dr. Fredric
Wertham's seminal books, ponders real-world "new mutants" like Michael
Jackson, The Olsen Twins, and Justin Bieber, and charts the 1980s
comicbook explosion and 1990s implosion--and more.
