David Bowie, Tom Waits, Sonic Youth, Beck, Matt Goening,
the late Kurt Cobain and an ever-growing cult audience are just some
of the fans of Daniel Johnton. An exemplar of brilliance
and madness going hand in hand, Johnston is an indie-rock cult figure
and cartoonist who has had a life marked by wild fluctuations, numerous
downward spirals, and periodic respites from his severe mental illness
(he’s been diagnosed with manic depression).
