Once upon a time, at two-thirty in the afternoon, on the enchanted island of York, lived a wizard. A mild-mannered, loveable wizard who wore a big hat to mask his identity. Vaughn Bode created in Cheech in 1956 at the age of 15 and the character remained a constant companion for the rest of Bode’s life, surfacing in his college paper, underground comix and beyond, even as far as the world of hip hop in the ‘80s (Cheech also has a design of Puma trainers bearing his image). This deluxe compendium provides a comprehensive overview of one of the world’s coolest characters.
