Bradleys collection

Fine satire on a middle class family in 1980's America. This is not crass underground stuff. It is neat stuff. It was a different world when cd's were beginning to infringe upon vinyl, home computers and mobile phones(which were HUGE) were VERY expensive and thusly rare; and dvd's were nonexistent. Excellent P.Bagge laughs in this comic material.

This book is one of four books that collect Peter Bagge's early comics from the late 1980s comic book magazine "Neat Stuff". The Four books are: 1) "The Bradleys", 2) "Studs Kirby", 3) "Junior and Other Losers" and 4) "Stupid Comics. They're all recommended. The stories in this book about Buddy Bradley's early life are not reprinted in the the two collections "Buddy Does Seattle" and "Buddy Does Jersey", so you'll need this volume to get all the major Buddy stories.

The Bradleys is the kind of comic book that makes you want more and more once you're through. Splendid characters (Bradley himself kix!) terrific dialogues, reads more like an illustrated hilarious sitcom than a comic. And it gets better: the drawing is superb (if that matters to you, but it matters to me) and the plot is never dissapointing. It's kinda like the simpsons with a different edge really. A classic!!!
