Booklist Review

In the fourth helping of Piskor's chronology of his passion, covering 1984-85, Philadelphia is the scene as often as N.Y.C. and L.A., and the impact on pop culture of Philly's explosive suppression of the African American MOVE commune is explained via flashback. Break dancing is the period's bombshell craze. New figures with the most page coverage include LL Cool J and the Beastie Boys, while producers Russell Simpson and Rick Rubin, series regulars, pop up even more than the newcomers. By now, Piskor's Jack Kirby-meets-R. Crumb drawing style seems the logical vehicle for the content. Add wherever earlier volumes have thrived.--Olson, Ray Copyright 2016 Booklist
