"Beyond the Pale" rips the lid off the most fevered brain in the business, where you'll find: The greatest case of Miles Microft, Psychic Detective, including the epic, centuries-spanning "Microft's Last Case"; The misadventures of Nath Mishkin and his DT-induced sidekick Waldo the Cat as they wiggle their way out of the sanitarium; Tales of deception and chicanery in "Famous Frauds" and "Beyond the Pale"; Exposes the meat-lacing industry in "Genocide" and the vegetarian racket in "The Cabbage Fiend"; Fascinating personal reminiscences in "Dial M for Monster," "TV and Me," and "Two Jews from Yonkers"; And totally uncategorizable, uniquely Deitchian romps like "Cult of the Clown," "Anthropomorphism," "Little Pal," and "Keep 'Em Flying"; If anyone doubts that Kim Deitch is one of the masters of the medium, "Beyond the Pale" is sure to make them see the light
