Steven Weissman's Yikes comics and characters are some of the most adorable and idiosyncratic cartoon creations in print today. Every success story has its humble - or arrogant and mean-spirited - beginnings, and now Fantagraphics is tickled to present this collection of Weissman's early, self-published, unpublished and otherwise rare Yikes comics. Steven Weissman is a cartoonist who is so good, so funny, and so original that he doesn't have to be serious to be taken seriously.' - Jaime Hernandez, Love and Rockets'
