Howdy and welcome to my auction!

Bifocal Media is very proud, and excited to publish this title from two legendary artists: Brian Walsby and The Melvins. MANCHILD 3 (Brian's 3rd published book of comic art) showcases the illustrative skill and wit that have earned Mr. Walsby a loyal following of fans since the early 80s. Many will remember Brian's work in magazines ranging from Maximum Rocknroll and Flipside all the way over to Hustler's Barely Legal while others know of Brian's classic album art for bands like 7-Seconds, Melvins, Scared Straight, and others. Brian also played drums for Polvo, Ryan Adams, Scared Straight, and currently plays for Double Negative. Manchild 3 comes packaged with the Melvins "Making Love" Demos CD. This is an ultra rare 8 song recording made by the band in 1987! Until now these tracks have never been released. The inclusion of this CD is fitting as MANCHILD 3 includes a 16 page illustrated Melvins tour diary from their 2006 tour.

The Melvins “Making Love Demos” were recorded in 1987, dubbed for a few folks (Mr. Walsby included), and forgotten about...until now. The CD includes 8 unreleased tracks. Four of them were re-tooled and re-recorded for the Ozma record. Four of them exist only on this CD. Here’s a few choice Quotes from Buzz regarding the Walsby/Melvins love affair:

“I don't even have a copy of these songs, how the hell did he get them? Did we give him permission for this?”

"Brian Walsby is brutal. His art Hilariously cuts to the honest bone leaving no prisoners. I've always been able to depend on Brian to tell me the no bulls**t truth. This is refreshing in a mostly "f**k you" world."

“This is a perfect home for these songs. The Melvins support Brian Walsby in every way legal and illegal.”

Elder punk/art statesman Brian Walsby is back with another stinging slab of satirical comic art. In this new collection, Brian applies his fine tuned illustrative skill and wit to the following masterpieces: The Melvins 2006 Tour Diary, Life After Black Flag, SCTV: The Best Goddamn Comedy Show Ever, Magical Melvins Moments, Hang The DJ, Careers of the Black Flag My War Puppet, How I Survived Grunge, Rules For Young Rock Bands On TV, Whatever Became of Your Favorite Punk Rock Mascots, Rodney On the Rock, Well Meaning White Guilt, and many others.
