About the Author:

Stout has contributed to over thirty films, including Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, Men in Black, and Walt Disney’s Dinosaur. He was a designer for Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth. His previous books include The Little Blue Brontosaurus, The New Dinosaurs, Prehistoric Life Murals, and Dinosaur Discoveries.

Ed Leimbacher, Author: Ed Leimbacher had a twenty-year career as a journalist, rock critic, creative producer, and copywriter. He also spent twenty-five years as a books-and-records seller in Seattle. His work has appeared in publications such as Rolling Stone, Fusion, and Ramparts.

Robert Williams, Introduction: Robert Williams brought the term “lowbrow” into the fine arts lexicon, with his groundbreaking 1979 book, The Lowbrow Art of Robt. Williams. Williams pursued a career as a fine arts painter years before joining the art studio of Ed “Big Daddy” Roth in the mid-1960’s. In this role as the famous custom car builder’s art director, he moved into the rebellious, anti-war circles of early underground comix.
