A Collection of 111 Underground Comics from the 1960s and 1970s

Mostly NorCal: Various, 1979. First Edition. Wrappers. Near Fine. 111 vols, in varying condition, though most of them are "very fine" (on CGCs scale) or better. A Majority date from before 1974, which is considered the first wave of underground comix, before the print numbers increased dramatically. Many of them are single issue titles or number ones, and almost 30 of them are Print Mint file copies (the most prolific publisher on the first wave). Several are rare and significant among collectors. Underground Comix remain exactly what their creators intended them to be, an unleashed manifestation of free speech, and a new art released as pure tribal shock from the counter culture, unanticipated, appalling, innovative, upsetting, influential, brazen, obstinate, novel, scandalous, radical, and as irrevocable as a haircut, for their independent writers, artists, publishers, retailers, and for people who witnessed it all, the 20-somethings of 1968, who casually sought philosophical terrain, and social reform, but not at the expense of amusement.
