thorough history submitted by shumoon on December 13, 2015, 2:09pm It reads like War and Peace, in that there are so many characters to keep track of. However, the illustrations are poor and it becomes difficult to differentiate the characters because they look so similar.

More comics like this... submitted by irenzero on July 3, 2020, 4:03pm A overview of the start of Hip Hop and Rap in NYC during the 70s this volume is a solid intro into that world... my only thought is that I would really like if Piskor had gotten more into the confluence of Punk/ Hip Hop that he shows in this volume.. maybe that would be an interesting follow up side project..
