About Ronald Rozewski
Kryptadia was resurrected from a manuscript of Glen Freeman's that was found after his death in the mid-seventies. It was "purchased" by Nancy Schroeder from a neighborhood denizen who was holding it hostage. Nancy transcribed the writing which was then edited by Phil Bietchman. The cover, illustrations and graphic design are by Ron Rozewski. Kryptadia was published by Tom Bissinger.
You can return to the contents of Kryptadia year after year and unfailingly discover something new that has surprisingly managed to escape your attention.
