Stapled wraps. Etat : Very Good+. Illustrated by Vaughn Bode' (illustrateur). 1st Edition; 1st Printing. B&W Illustrations; This is a small format booklet (7" x 5") with illustrated covers and a stapled spine. The booklet is in Very Good+ to Near Fine condition and was issued without a dust jacket. There is some very beginning rubbing to the spine ends and corners of the book covers. The text pages are clean and bright. This is a fairly early work from Bode'. "In 1963, at age 21, and while living in Utica, New York, Bode self-published Das Kämpf, considered one of the first underground comic books. Created after Bode's stint in the U. S. Army, Das Kampf has been called "a war-themed spoof on Charles Schulz's 1962 book Happiness Is a Warm Puppy." With money borrowed from his brother Vincent, Bode photocopied about 100 copies of the 52-page book and (mostly unsuccessfully) attempted to sell it around the Utica area. In the mid 1960s Bode was living in Syracuse, New York, attending classes at Syracuse University and contributing to The Sword of Damocles, a student-run, though not university-sanctioned, humor magazine similar to The Harvard Lampoon. It was here that Bode's most famous comic creation, Cheech Wizard, first saw publication. Cheech Wizard (sometimes characterized as a "cartoon messiah") is a wizard whose large yellow hat (decorated with black and red stars) covers his entire body except his legs and his big red feet."
