Peter Bagge has worked as an editor at Weirdo Magazine and Fantagraphics books, he is also the creator of a bunch of titles including, “Hate” and “Neat Stuff”. He has also contributed to a ton of cool independent comics anthologies as well. I acquired a large lot of Mr. Bagge’s books several years ago. Many items are clearly artist submissions made evident by littles notes and sketches that came with some, others such as this were likely personal copies from his reading library.. The Saturday Book #20 (Edited by John Hadfield 1960) All of the below is borrowed from Wikipedia:The Saturday Book was an annual miscellany, published from 1941 to 1975, reaching 34 volumes... The Saturday Book provided literary and artistic commentary about life in Britain during the Second World War and the ensuing decades. It covered a range of arts, including ballet and music. Many writers contributed poems as well as essays. The very first volume totaled 444 pages, but, with paper in short supply, the length of the second was slashed to 274 pages. From the third to the 24th volumes the number fluctuated between 288 and 304 pages, but the remaining ten ran to no more than 256 pages each The many writers who contributed to the series included Fred Bason, H. E. Bates, John Betjeman, Graham Greene, Laurie Lee, Philip Larkin, John Masefield, H. J. Massingham, George Orwell, J. B. Priestley, L. T. C. Rolt, Siegfried Sassoon, Evelyn Waugh, John Moore and P. G. Wodehouse. The series was profusely illustrated with photographs, woodcuts and line drawings, many specially commissioned. Artists included Edward Ardizzone, Rowland Emett, L. S. Lowry, Lawrence Scarfe and Richard Chopping. Photographers included Bill Brandt, Cecil Beaton, Douglas Glass and Edwin Smith. Wood engravers included Robert Gibbings, George Maclay and Agnes Miller Parker. George Orwell's essay "Benefit of Clergy", intended for the volume published in 1944, was suppressed on grounds of obscenity, but its title remains in the table of contents.[3]
