Dutch Treat HC the Underground Comix of Evert Geradts

Born in the Netherlands during the darkest days of WWII, Evert Geradts eventually found himself in the center of the underground comix movement in Europe, fully embracing the ‘60s lifestyle. His often outrageous and sexually provocative stories were rendered in a “cartoony” bigfoot drawing style, making them both more superficially palatable and even more hysterically funny. They appeared in American comix titles such as Snarf, Bijou Funnies, and Rip Off Comix alongside European ones. Dutch Treat traces his artistic development as well as those of his European colleagues such as Joost Swarte and Peter Pontiac, whom he introduced to the world in the magazine he founded, Tante Leny Presents. Drawing from his own archives and original art, Dutch Treat presents this unsung mad genius and his signature outlandish characters Ma Cow, Johnny Sailears, and the All-Animal Orchestra as they were meant to be seen: at full size and often in full color. A generous sampling of his art, sketches, correspondence with other cartoonists, and comix covers adds to what has been a long-needed tribute to an overlooked champion of a significant and phantasmagorical art movement.
