Cheech Wizard's Book of Me

Vaughn Bodé’s Cheech Wizard’s Book of Me, published by Fantagraphics in 2015, is a single-issue comic that collects the artist’s signature, irreverent character in a compact, self-contained volume. Known for his bold, cartoonish style and surreal humor, Bodé presents the Cheech Wizard—a wisecracking, hat-wearing figure—in a series of playful, often absurd vignettes. This book serves as a focused showcase of Bodé’s unique voice, capturing the raw energy and underground-comics spirit that made him a cult figure. It’s a concise entry point into his world, emphasizing his lasting influence on alternative cartooning.
