Sal Canzonieri has released the first volume in his A Fistful of Rock & Roll Art Books series – From Here to There and Back Again: 100 Years of Rock Art Influences – and I strongly urge you to pick it up. A quick look at the Amazon “Click to Look Inside” preview will quickly convince you that this one is a ‘must-have’. This impressive tome has been in progress for some time and was slated to be released by a certain established publisher, perhaps best known for its comics based on popular licensed properties. After too many years of nothing going on with that, Sal has released this book on his own. Sal is very close to our musical, artistic and martial arts family here at Wow Cool and we highly recommend this book. Steven Cerio provided the wrap-around cover art (an unpublished poster for the Residents) and an introduction.
