Once upon a time, at two-thirty in the afternoon, on the enchanted island of York, lived a Wizard… A mild-mannered, lovable Wizard who wore a big hat to mask his true identity… But just who is under the big hat, just who is… Cheech Wizard? Vaughn Bode created Cheech in 1956 at the age of 15 and the character remained a constant companion for the rest of Bode’s life, surfacing in his college paper, underground commix, the National Lampoon, and ultimately beyond into the cosmically collective world of graffiti and hip hop. The Big Book of Me brings this elemental, pop-essential corpus of transcendent art to the masses collecting all of the Cheech Wizard comics in a single volume.
