"Loving father. Supportive husband. Born Again Christian. 'A very public publisher/editor.' A writer, cartoonist, and artist. A pathological liar. A sleazy ex-hippie suffering from delusions of grandeur. Robert 'Super' Dupree is all these things and more. Last summer, Robert began posing as his own imaginary best friend and lover, 'Jordan, ' in a bizarre effort to get laid. When the truth began to leak out, Robert embarked on a campaign of disinformation and threats, trying to maintain control of an evolving disaster. In his role as publisher of several zines, Robert has an equally sordid history of exploiting independent artists and fellow publishers in a shameless quest for credibility and success. This publication serves as equal parts frontier justice and public service, providing a stunning and disturbingly clear record of Robert's history, methods, and current schemes. This is a concerted effort to crush him, once and for all, beneath the weight of his own bullshit"--Page [4] of cover.
