Peter Bagge was born on December 11th, 1957, and raised in Peekskill, New York, about 40 miles north of New York City While enrolled in the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 1977, Bagge discovered underground comics, and the work of R Crumb in particular turned what had initially been only a vague interest in cartooning into a passion.In the early 80s Bagge co published three issues of COMICAL FUNNIES 1980 81 , a New York based comic tabloid which saw the debut of Bagge s dysfunctional suburban family, The Bradleys Bagge broke into R Crumb s legendary magazine, WEIRDO, and Bagge took over as managing editor of that magazine from 1983 to 1986.Bagge started his own comic book series, NEAT STUFF, for Fantagraphics Books, producing 15 issues from 1985 to 89 Buddy Bradley, the Bradleys alienated and pessimistic teenage son, emerged as Neat Stuff s most engaging and fully realized character In 1990, NEAT STUFF evolved into a new title, HATE, which exclusively followed the foibles of the semi autobiographical Buddy Bradley Hate became the voice of the twenty nothing slackers as well as being hailed by critics for its brilliant characterization in its complete chronicle of the 1990s HATE and Buddy Bradley continue to appear in print, albeit less frequently, under the title HATE ANNUAL.Since 1999, Bagge has worked on many other comic related projects, including writing an all ages comic book for DC called YEAH drawn by Gilbert Hernandez as well as the short lived humor series SWEATSHOP, also for DC He also wrote and drew a one shot satire of Spider Man for Marvel, and has done the same with Marvel s The Hulk, though the later title has yet to be scheduled for release Other projects include a 2 year stint writing and drawing a weekly comic strip about Bat Boy for THE WEEKLY WORLD NEWS, and a series of illustrated essays for the now defunct website Suck, which led to his becoming a current regular features contributor to the political and social commentary magazine REASON.Most recently, Bagge has been working on a 6 part mini series for Dark Horse called APOCALYPSE NERD, which should be complete in 2007.Bagge s exaggerated and distinctively in your face illustration style has also appeared on many record and CD covers, and in magazines as far ranging as HUSTLER, MAD and the OXFORD AMERICAN He s also had a hand in several animation projects, most notably the online Rock Roll Dad cartoon series he co created with Dana Gould for Icebox.Peter Bagge has lived in Seattle since 1984 He resides with his wife Joanne, and daughter Hannah, and three darned cats.

Kind of disappointing, a bit too silly and self-indulgent for my own liking. It might have worked better in small doses, as it was being serialised, that as a collection. Only for Bagge's die hard fans.
Well, this was fun. Bagge did this satirical strip for a couple of years, taking the famous/notorious Weekly World News character on amusing adventures--through the presidency, engagement to Beyonce Knowles (who turns out to be half-Sasquatch), to being King of America and various other silly situations, with an excellent sense of rhythm, aping the structure of a comic strip perfectly. Hard to say whether the whole WWN approach to "news" is part of what Bagge mocks here, but it sure feels like i [...]
Siguiendo en la sintonía de la última recomendación, sobre la obra de Robert Crumb, les comentamos que ya pueden conseguir en el local Bat Boy, de Peter Bagge."Recopiladas por primera vez en una edición de lujo en tapa dura, las tiras consagradas al personaje de Bat Boy, de Peter Bagge, aparecen de la mano de La Cúpula. Originalmente fueron publicadas en el desaparecido Weekly World News durante dos años". El personaje fue creado por el entonces editor de la WWN, Dick Kulpa, debutando en J [...]
While not as good as his "Hate" material, or his recent "Other Lives", it's still great to see Bagge working a weekly comic strip. Bat Boy is irresistible, and the plots featuring a Bigfoot Beyonce and others make it well worth a your while to check out.
O me falta cancha con los famosos estadounidenses (aunque tengo que admitir que reconocí a la mayoría) o a este libro le falta chispa. Quizás mitad y mitad, pero lo que es seguro es que me gustó bastante menos que lo poco que llevo leído de Hate.
This was some of his funniest stuff ever! I didn't really know what to expect from the Bat Boy strips, but it had me cracking up. Pop culture comic zaniness as only Peter Bagge can do.
Hilarious, and very highly recommended for afficionados of the absurd.
Who doesn't love Bat Boy?
This is my first impression of Bat Boy and I dont get it. Drawings like a 8 year old and story is for sure for an 11 year old. Sorry not my style
