Nightmare Alley Softcover (O/A)
Description:
"by Spain Rodriguez & William Lindsay Gresham An adaptation of the long out-of-print 1930s cult novel of the same name by William Lindsay Gresham, illustrated by legendary underground cartoonist Spain Rodriguez. The story is a study of the lowest depths of showbiz and its sleazy inhabitants and environs, the dark, shadowy world of a second-rate carnival filled with cheap hustlers, scheming grifters, and Machiavellian femme fatales. Gresham was born in Baltimore in 1909, but grew up in New York. Nightmare Alley was highly influenced by the freaks and sideshows he routinely observed at Coney Island as a child. The book depicts the rise of Stan Carlisle from a carnival mentalist to a successful 'spiritualist,' preying on the rich and gullible matrons of society, to his eventual fall and total disintegration. SC, 136pg, b&w"
