Born into a mob-linked Jewish family in Brighton Beach, Herbie is determined to become an artist. - Hands Up, Herbie!“Hands Up, Herbie! is a delightful, faultless, matter-of-fact graphic biography of artist Herb Perr, in his words and Joey Perr’s pictures. From Herb’s dysfunctional petty criminal family background, through intellectual awakening in the 1960s Lower East Side, personal struggles, art world involvement, to a professor’s life and founding member of PAD/D (Political Art Documentation/Distribution) during the Reagan era, there is a powerful and moving story that is imaged with empathy and without pathos. I worked with Herb Perr during the 1980s and have long admired his commitment to art and social change. Joey Perr does his life justice.”— Lucy R. Lippard, Author of Get the Message? A Decade of Art for Social Change
