Thirty years ago, Rick Veitch was a young man on the verge. Physically andemotionally exhausted from a wild and misspent youth, he'd fallen into a deepdepression. Unable even to get out of bed, Veitch experienced a series of dreamsthat were so overwhelmingly powerful and rich in archetypal content, he wascompelled to write them down in detail. Instinctively using the raw materialfrom his own unconscious as a guide, Veitch worked his way out of depression andfound the path he needed to realize his life goal of becoming an artist. Decadeslater, as a well known cartoonist and dreamworker, he revisited these earlydream journals, illustrating them as chapters in a graphic novel for hisEisner-nominated comic series, Rare Bit Fiends. Collected for the first time in book form, Cryptoo Zoo is a deeplypersonal, harrowing and ultimately life affirming triumph of comic art thatplaces the reader inside the maelstrom of what Carl Jung called a "confrontationwith the unconscious."
