"The most merciful thing in the world [...] is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. [...] but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.?-H.G. LovecraftLeon Beyond is the know-it-all, fact-baking brain-child of cartoonists Kevin Huizenga and Dan Zettwoch. For four solid years Leon Beyond dropped dubious knowledge every week in the comics section of the St. Louis Riverfront Times and then disappeared! His tidbits and trivia have changed our understanding of the world forever. Amazing Facts & Beyond collects the comic-strip's best and most mental adventures. Stretch your brain and enter the world of memory palaces, volcano graffiti, baseball slang, rap commercials, and much more. Mark your avante-garde cat calendar as you travel to the Pancake and Eggs Nebula!Meticulously un-researched and full of beautiful cartooning, Amazing Facts & Beyond is the postmodern successor to Ripley's Believe It Or Not. Features include a comprehensive uncivilizedbooks.com Beyondex, behind-the-scenes photographs, and a special color section. Feel free to scratch 'n sniff! There are no stickers.
