Pravda1

In 1967 artist Guy Peellaert (later responsible for David Bowie's Diamond Dogs album cover, It's Only Rock and Roll for the Rolling Stones, and the classic coffee table book Rock Dreams, published one of the very first Pop Art comics, The Adventures of Jodelle.

It's really amazing and you can find copies on the Internet ranging from $14 to $300. I have a copy and it's one of my prized possessions. You can see what it looks like here

and here.

A year later Peellaert put out Pravda

another sexy comic creation modeled this time after gorgeous French yé-yé singer Francoise Hardy.

Copies of Pravda are hard to come by and costly. Pravda posters can sell for over $500 on Ebay.

The other day I found this super cool Pravda animation

that Peelaert did in 2001 featuring a soundtrack by The Rolling Stones, Missy Elliot and Joy Division.
