A HISTORY OF UNDERGROUND COMICS SC 20TH ANNIV ED

In the land that time forgot, 1960s and 1970s America, there once were some bold, forthright, thoroughly unashamed social commentators who said things that "couldn't be said" and showed things that "couldn't be shown." They were cartoonists - underground cartoonists. And they were some of the cleverest, most interesting social commentators of their time, as well as some of the very best artists, whose work has influenced the visual arts right up until today. A History of Underground Comics is their story - told in their own art, in their own words, with connecting commentary and analysis by one of the very few media people who took them seriously from the start.
