Description

"This comprehensive book follows 50 artists over a dozen years, chronicling the people and events that forged the phenomenon known as underground comix.". "Conceived and nurtured in the volatile climate of the 1960s, comix by artists such as R. Crumb, Victor Moscoso, S. Clay Wilson, Art Spiegelman, Bill Griffith, Spain Rodriguez, Rick Griffin, Jack Jackson, Dan O'Neill, Gilbert Shelton, and Vaughn Bode were excoriating reflections of the anti-war, anti-establishment fervor of the times. They arose at a critical point in United States history, when the convergence of political repression, the protest movement, psychedelic drugs, the sexual revolution, and innovations in printing technology created the right mix for an impromptu and improvised art movement."--BOOK JACKET.
