Bastard by S. Clay Wilson and Willem, as published by Futuropolis Diffusion (Paris) in 1984. This comic is a conversation of sorts between Wilson and Willem, where each contributes a couple of pages in turn, apparently trying to out-do each other. Not a book for children, so to speak.

Contains a blurb from Burroughs with a printed signature (Bukowski as well): "This book looks great and words cannot do justice to pictures. All I can say is vintage Clay Wilson hilarious, horrible disgusting as life itself at its most outre... a pop rendition of Hieronymous Bosch... Every line bears the unique touch of Clay Wilson / Good for young and old, man and bestial. Its fine its swell itsa gawdy taste of Hell / All the best from the Day After / William Burroughs / 4 juin 1984"

This copy was signed by S. Clay Wilson in 1985.
