The Wizards animated movie from the seventies by Ralph Bakshi has ofted been cited as being heavily influenced by artist and graffiti icon Vaughan Bode. To a rather significant degree. And every time Wizards is mentioned, it's not long until a Bode-ite pops up to point out the similarities. Such as Cheech Wizard, Cobalt 9o and more.
