Does anyone besides me, remember Underground Comix?

One of the reasons for the blog is to keep alive great art by great artists – even if they weren’t exactly pin-up artists… Zap Comix is probably the most famous of the Underground Comix which featured a lot of work of Robert Crumb. But other comix included: “Slow Death,” “Godnose,” “TrashMan,” “Captain Guts,” and “Clown Conspiracy Comics.”

These featured artists like Gilbert Shelton, Spain Rodriguez, and S. Clay Wilson. Amongst my favorite characters were the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, Mr. Natural, the Checkered Demon, Fat Freddy's Cat! And I would be remiss if I did not mention Vaughan Bode’s Cheech Wizard
