Blessed Be: A Flowertown, USA Adventure

Blessed Be reads like an R-rated Mad magazine parody of Our Town written by John Waters and drawn by Mort Drucker and Wally Wood. Rick Altergott both skewers and celebrates an eerie realm of ’70s men’s magazines and small-town conservatism in his long-awaited graphic novel, boasting a farcical earnest cast of smalltown bums, outlaws, hippies, bikers, and babes, intertwined in a web of crime and mystery.
