Looking To Identify Important Covers & Stories

I don't believe you can have this discussion without the mention of the Zap Comix #1 and #0 story...absolutely seminal and groundbreaking in the comic book world as well as our American culture! Fair Warning: For Adult Intellectuals Only!

 

Plenty of story/drama as well as the side story with the warehouse fire destroying most of the Plymell #1 first editions...as well as the #1 vs #0 story...CLASSIC!

Absolutely, I will reference Undergrounds and show some covers.

For anyone who is interested, a video of the SD Con presentation has been placed online. Approximately 30-40 people attended which was not bad for a Saturday night at 6:30 pm!

 

From Cave Art To Superheroes Comic Books & Social Commentary

 

Unfortunately not only did I run out of time to finish (ah, the perils of a virgin presentation!) but the tape ran out and cut off the last 10 minutes or as well! The entire video lasts one hour and I believe most of you will find it enjoyable and educational.

 

I welcome any constructive criticism or suggestions as I will be delivering this lecture again in the coming months. Feel free to e-mail me at EsquireComics@aol.com or PM me here (although sadly I haven't been on the site lately due to an overwhelming amount of legal work).

 

In fact, I have already refined the lecture as will be evident in another video soon to be posted online. Last week I delivered a variation of the lecture in Rochester, NY before around 100 people for approximately 2 hours, and the entire program was taped.
