520    "The story of Schlitzie's long career--from Coney Island 
       and the Ringling Bros. Circus to small town carnivals and 
       big city sideshows--is one of legend. Today, Schlitzie is 
       most well-known for his appearance in the cult classic 
       Freaks (produced by MGM of all studios in 1932 and 
       directed by Tod Browning, his first feature after the 
       horror classic Dracula), in which all of the sideshow 
       performers were real, not actors. The making of Freaks and
       Schlitzie's role in the film is a centerpiece of the book.
       Freaks was also the inspiration for Zippy the Pinhead, now
       in its 31st year of newspaper syndication via King 
       Features, and led to Griffith's 50-year cartooning career.
       In researching Schlitzie's life (1901-1971), Griffith has 
       tracked down primary sources and archives throughout the 
       country, including conducting interviews with those who 
       worked with him and had intimate knowledge of his 
       personality, his likes and dislikes, how he responded to 
       being a sideshow "freak," and much more. This graphic 
       novel biography is not exploitative, but instead humanizes
       Schlitzie by providing never-before revealed details of 
       his life, offering a unique look into his world and 
       restoring some dignity to his life and recognizing his 
       contributions to popular culture"--|cProvided by
