Life in Hell and Simpsons creator Matt Groening has signed this first printing with a full figure sketch of Binky, inscribed and dated in the year of publication: "This here cartoon book belongs to Gary Stewart and don't you forget it!! / Your pal, Matt Groening / 4 - 8 - 97"
The late Mr. Stewart was a popular record executive with Rhino Records and Apple Music who worked closely with Elvis Costello.
This copy includes a 4-page booklet: "A Penguin Reading Group Guide to The Huge Book of Hell."
This was the second big collection of Life in Hell cartoons (after 1990's The Big Book of Hell).
Out of print.
"Another jam-packed jelly-rolled jeremiad of quirky and quixotic conundrums, caustic cant and comforting clutter - all catchy, quippish and cholesterol-free - culled from that disturbingly widespread cartoon strip Life in Hell by none other than Satan's servant himself, Matt Groening! Joyful angst, merry bitterness and heartwarming alienation abound in the big fiery tent that is The Huge Book of Hell. There's room for everyone in this capacious compenium."
