The product of a broken, trailer-trash marriage, he was a high school dropout who had decided to become a professional cartoonist while serving a six-year sentence in a Maryland prison for burglary. As cartoon editor for Larry Flynt's notorious \u003cem\u003eHustler\u003c\/em\u003e magazine, he had assembled a staff of pen-and-Wite-Out-wielding Lenny Bruces whose unprecedentedly offensive socio-sexual cartoons had spearheaded that publication's fight against the forces of censorship and repression that sought to overthrow the political and cultural gains of the 1960s. His primary personal contribution--spawned amidst a national hysteria that saw a plague of child sexual abuse arising everywhere from pre-school staffs to satanic sects--was \"Chester the Molester,\" a hulking middle-aged man who craved pre-pubescent girls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e And then Tinsley's teenage daughter accused him of sexually violating her over the course of five years. And the prosecution in his ensuing criminal trial cast several storage boxes full of his cartoons against him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eMost Outrageous\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of the trial of Dwaine Tinsley as well as the story of Tinsley's family life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bob Levin's writings have established him as one of the most thought-provoking chroniclers of cartoonists today. While focusing upon the work and lives of the most offbeat creators in the field in order to champion the pursuit of individual vision, no matter how unorthodox or inflammatory, he has explored issues common to artists of every medium. \u003cem\u003eMost Outrageous\u003c\/em\u003e carries his search onto new, unsettling ground.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bob Levin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1560979194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781560979197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.31w x 0.46d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVillage Voice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/17\/2008 pg. 42","brand":"Bob Levin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485618614527,"sku":"9781560979197","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea662622-136e-4cc7-a5b3-0481a278e198.jpg?v=1778050422","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/most-outrageous-bob-levin-9781560979197","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
