*Undergrounds: A remarkable influx of new undergounds from the classic era of 1970-1974, when the movement was just gaining ground. ‘Godfather’ of underground comics is, of course, Robert Crumb, and he’s heavily represented, with the all-Crumb titles Artistic Comics, Best Buy, Big Ass, Black & White, Despair, Mr. Natural, Motor City, People’s Comics (pictured), Snoid, XYZ, and Your Hytone Comix. Crumb is also a prominent contributor to Zap, and issues #0-8 are newly into our inventory, plus there’s Dirty Laundry, a joint production between Mr. & Mrs. Crumb! Other, non-Crumb titles added include All-New Underground Comix (Two-Fisted Zombies!), Bakersfield Kountry Komics (with an early Cherry Poptart appearance), Eternal, Girl Fight, Legion of Charlies, Merton of the Movement, Pudge Girl Blimp, Skull, Spasm by Jeff Jones, Star*Reach, Tales of the Armorkins, and Wimmen’s Comix. As popular as Crumb, though less prolific, was the artist Vaughn Bode, represented here by the first issues of Junkwaffel (pictured) and his Schizophrenia one-shot, co-starring his character the Cheech Wizard. And, just to prove the Yanks didn’t have it all their own way, we have issue #2 (pictured) and #5 of the UK’s infamous Nasty Tales, together with the Trials of Nasty Tales one-shot partially illustrated by Dave (Watchmen) Gibbons! Many of these are first or early printings, and given the vanishingly small initial print runs, constitute genuine rarities.
