The comics industry has been blessed with few individuals whose work is as memorable as Basil Wolverton's, and Dark Horse Comics is helping preserve those fond memories of wacky adventures and goofy creatures with a new line of limited collectible figures, authorized and approved by the Wolverton estate.

The wacky universe inside Basil Wolverton's mind was populated with strange critters and wonderful weirdos, and many of these personified abstractions made it to the pages of Wolverton's legendarily low-brow comics. Wolverton's "Liz" is one of the lucky few to be immortalized in this charming series of collectible friends for fans of the celebrated artist. With her startling schnoz and delightfully different looks, Liz isn't quite a fantasy playmate, but she's a girl you won't soon forget.

"The older my father got, the more bizarre his creations became," said cartoonist Monte Wolverton. "These are from late in his career, in the early 1970s, so they are some of the good stuff."

The lovely, loony Liz introduces Dark Horse's limited line of these high-quality but oh-so-affordable collectibles. Limited to only 1,200 numbered pieces, and at the price of only $34.95, these little boogers are sure to be a hit among classic fans of all that is lowbrow and anyone who loves a silly face. Pick up Liz at your favorite comics retailer February 3, and you'll never be lonely for female companionship again.
