Hot Jazz With Max Zillion & Alto Ego

'The story of Max Zillion, the ace saxophonist man-handling his chosen instrument Alto Ego, rising to artistic heights with music and sinking through financial depths thanks to the machinations of Mean McMudda, the eternal agent who takes 100% and then some. Hunt Emerson is the only cartoonist who has had the courage to take jazz as his story, and he improvises on it like Charlie Parker did.' - Miles Kington

Hunt Emerson has drawn cartoons and comic strips since the early 1970s. He has published around 30 comic books and albums, mainly with Knockabout Comics (London), including Lady Chatterley's Lover, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Casanova's Last Stand, and Dante’s Inferno. His latest book is Calculus Cat, a hilarious collection of stories about The Cat That Hates Television. He has been awarded UK Humorous Cartoonist of the Year and in 2000 he was chosen for inclusion in the exhibition "Les Mâitres de la Bande Dessinéee Européenne" by the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and the CNBDI, Angoulême.
