Mingering Mike: The Amazing Career of An Imaginary Soul Superstar by Dori Hadar is now available from the Dischord Web-store.

Mingering Mike is longtime resident of Washington DC, who from 1968 until 1977 created hundreds of hand drawn album covers, singles, even movie sound-tracks, chronicling his imaginary career as a musical superstar, record producer and record label mogul.

His intricate and beautiful covers remained completely unseen until DJ Dori Hadar discovered and rescued several bins of them while shopping at a local flea market. Hadar, who is also a private investigator, eventually tracked down and befriended Mingering Mike, helped compile his artwork for exhibition and helped free a star from his imagination.
