Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Back to the beginning! See the original hippie days (and hippie daze) of the unrelated Brothers and watch as Shelton shifts from stoner slapstick to both sitcom and satire, building a broad approach that would let him comment comedically through these hapless mouthpieces for five decades.

Also in this volume: the earliest appearances of the Freaks' feline flat mate, Fat Freddy's Cat, and a selection of other contemporaneous cartooning by Shelton, showing the range of styles and voices that he would soon channel into the Freak Brothers as their stardom ensued.

Times of No Money is the sixth release in this special series of seven graphic albums. (The series presents all the Freak Brothers' adventures chronologically, but individual albums are being released in a different order.) The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comics have sold more than 45 million copies worldwide in 16 languages.

These painstakingly restored hardcovers, featuring die-cut covers, are the first North American bookshelf editions in more than thirty years.
