What Happened to Underground Comics?

[Brother J]

I sometimes hold up Jim Mahfood as someone who recalls the underground movement.

He self publishes, he's got that sex-drugs-music-politics vibe

Examples include Grrl Scouts, Stupid Comics, Felt, We Want Porn, & his mini comix

 

Was there ever a link between late underground and the no-wave or early punk scene in New York and in the US? (Before punk "bloomed" in the UK, I mean)?

RAW

 

Raw Magazine, definitely underground in my book. If for no other reason that Spiegelman was involved in the original underground comix movement. I love the large format, one of my favorite items in my collection is my copy of Raw #1. Wish I had the Maus issues.

 

Or a copy of the 1st Maus

 

 

Oh, I've got multiples of that book, in high grade condition. Don Donahue was always selling high grade copies of Funny Aminals a few years back before he passed away.

Oh I would also consider this a pretty cool recent underground

 

 

And I hear they're doing some kind of Canadian Variant / one of the stories is being adapted for an animated series
