counterculture: kid's comics, beatniks, CND, hippies, rock posters, underground comics, punk art, new wave mini comics, zines, graphic novels, mtv cartoons, graffiti! Sol Nte's continuing exploration of the Book as exhibition space and the Book as a repository of counterculture. The New Wave Tales of Slick Royale explores punk new wave in terms of what Nte describes as a counterculture nodal point; where it was and where it's going to - all measured in the evolving and dissolving of its visual aesthetic. The kids comics of the 40s and 50s, that fed into the 60s counterculture via the underground comics of the hippie scene, then morphs into a rawer, harsher, more angular drawing style of punk and new wave as reflected in the music, towards the end of the 80s with the rise of the graphic novel, and the adult cartoon boom of the early 90s brings another aesthetic, a follow on from Gary Panter's ratty line, in this way we could reread the punk new wave angular graphics as a throwback to cubism in cartoon form, while the 90s gives us art brut and abstraction, a counterculture in line alone, follow on from Herge; la ligne claire, angular line, ratty line, the dissolving and re-evolution, revolution of the line, the cartoon as a measure of art history, forever the line! This book will appeal to fans of Gary Panter, Matt Groening, Lynda Barry, Beavis and Butthead, Neckface, MTV cartoons, Basquiat, Warhol, Chris Ware, Skateboard graphics and Robert Crumb, as well as the zines of Mark Gonzales and Harmony Korine!
