Here's an article by Craig Yoe on Vaughn Bode:
https://13thdimension.com/remembering-vaughn-bode/Usually artists, especially comics artists, take the approach of studying the output of a few individuals whose work they admire. If they do it right, this results in a rich combo of their visual mentors and they develop their own personal style. A very few artists draw deep from their inner selves with seemingly no influences whatsoever. Their art achieves a look with no ancestry–it’s new, it’s different! Vaughn Bodé‘s art is like that. I can’t think of anyone with whom to compare him. Vaughn Bodé was, in the truest sense of the word… UNIQUE!
It shows a number of covers and pages of Vaugn Bode's work, and photos and personal info about the artist himself. He almost looks like a 1970's glam-rock musician in some of his photos.
As detailed at the Wikipedia link, he was not just hetero, bisexual or homosexual, but had, shall we say, some very unusual sexual outlets. And he died of self-inflicted erotic asphixiation.
Whatever his personal quirks, his art manifests that he clearly was an innovative and talented artist. Whose art remains appreciated and influential at least 50 years beyond his passing.
