Dennis Eichhorn has lived life to the hilt. Born in prison, he was a football-playing bully who transformed himself into a peace-and-love hippie -- and subsequently got sent to the state pen for dealing LSD. Fortunately for us, he emerged from the experience a gifted writer and editor who has been able to record his experiences as a petty criminal and observer of life on the shady side of the law.Culled from the pages of the comic book Real Stuff, Crimes and Punishments is Dennis Eichhorn's first comix collection. Working with many of the finest alternative cartoonists alive, this collection of short stories forms a powerful arc of a man born in jail and his return to jail two decades later. Artists like J.R. Williams and Tern Laban bring out the humorous side of the stories, while artists like Michael Dougan and Carol Swain delineate the terror and pathos inherent in Eichhorn's tales. The result is a richly textured work of graphic autobiography

In 1968, Os Mutantes (The Mutants) released their self-titled first album in Brazil. It was a bizarre psychedelic masterpiece and was followed seven more brilliant and eclectic works of tropical rock before the band broke up in the mid-'70s. They would have remained a strange footnote in musical history if they hadn't been rediscovered in the '90s by David Byrne, Beck, and thousands of hip college DJs in America. Twenty years after they disbanded, Os Mutantes are an influential cult band with a devoted following and several American releases, including a best of collection, Everything Is Possible, from Luaka Bop. Now Os Mutantes: The True Psychedelic Adventures of a Band from Brazil tells the story of this band-Rita Lee, Arnaldo Baptista and Sergio Dias Baptista-and their part in the Brazilian art/music/culture movement Tropicalia. Os Mutantes were the house rock band of Tropicalia, backing Brazilian singers like Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and Tom Ze as well as recording their own psychedelic rock, which was heavily influenced by the Beatles' Revolver and Sgt. Pepper, Brazilian pop, and avant garde music. Combined with their own incredible musicianship and playfulness, Os Mutantes produced some of the most joy-filled psychedelic rock of the '60s. But drugs, romantic rivalries, and an oppressive military government in Brazil gradually wore the group down. Their story is told exhaustively here by Brazilian music journalist Carlos Calado. Os Mutantes: The True Psychedelic Adventures of a Band from Brazil is also filled with great band pictures!
