Maybe we could all share an S. Clay Wilson from our collections? Let me see what I have...

On second thought it may be too graphic to share in this forum??  (I have 2 copies of Pork with the wrap around cover and I believe he drew the inside cover as well)

Here is a t-shirt design he did for a local video store back in the 80's.  Sadly I can't wear it anymore, but it's still a seldom seen design and part of my collection!

 

and my HC copy of Complete Checkered Demon with a personal inscription:

RIP Larry Flynt

 

 

Weird timing, as mentioned in another thread, I finally found the elusive second volume of Honey, published by the late pornographer!  He published all kinds of other comics too....but as a fan of the rivals of Annie Fanny, these hold a special place in my collection!!!!

Purchased from Colin Turner, son of Ron Turner, who ran Last Gasp for many decades.

Colin and I attended the same high school, but many decades apart.

Hung a place on honor in my house for many years.

EC homages and parodies are a whole sub-genre of undergrounds unto themselves.

Yup! 😁

My favorite of all of them, and it's by Kurtzman, to boot!!!

Rand Holmes seemed to be an EC fan.

The line from the EC's to the Undergrounds is incredibly direct, running right through HELP!  Kurtzman gave a lot of the underground cartoonists their first national exposure in that magazine.

Nice! I have 4 Grimwit #1's currently, but none are the Last Gasp 2nd prints! Maybe I should keep an eye out!

[felixthecat]

My #2 is the highest graded yet I have never read the book. As my primary goal in collecting is to have the ultimate reading library it doesn't really make sense. It was a gift  so I will just have to look for a reader.

Never hear of the Death Rattle before, I can tell they are old because of

the fifty cent cover price‼️😷 but they don’t look old😧

[Albert Thurgood]

After all those nice arty covers above, here is the most provocative cover. It was risky even for the '70s. But funny!

 

They were right about the warning...

I'm looking for a slow death where a zombie is behind the wheel of a wrecked car and saying "Brrrrm"

Let me know if you can help me

Not sure if this belongs here....

The line between underground and indie isn't always clear cut, but I'd say Lethargic Lad is mostly an indie comic. I know his very first appearances were in a photocopied minicomic version of Lethargic Comics Weakly, created when Greg Hyland was a college student. I've never seen those, but they'd absolutely count as undergrounds in my book.

Still fun material.
