LAST GASP UNDERGROUND COMIX MEGA SALE!!! JUNE 26TH!!!
OUR CLOSE PERSONAL FRIENDS AT LAST GASP OF SAN FRANCISCO HAVE plumbed the depths of the Last Gasp vaults and emerged with a mind-boggling array of vintage underground comix, spanning the 60s through the 90s, each one more weird and spectacular than the last. NOW IS THE TIME TO SEIZE THE MOST FUCKED UP COMIX OF HAZY DAYS GONE BI!!!
Weirdo, Lonely Nights, too many of my favorite comics are represented in these bundles and I’m filled with horrible panic to think of our stock being plundered by brutish comics fans – but don’t let that stop you. Many of the best comic artists of all-time can be witnessed within these collections in their tender beginnings. Some of them went on to have life-long comics careers and others remain obscure, a memento of forgotten genius.
Artists include: Robert Crumb, Dan Clowes, Spain Rodriguez, Dori Seda, Lynda Barry, Gilbert Shelton, Diane Noomin, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Peter Bagge, Jay Kinney, Dennis Worden, Kaz, Trina Robbins, S Clay Wilson, Robert Williams, Bill Griffith, Ted Richards, Mats?!, Krystine Kryttre, Shawn Kerri, Justin Green, Terry Boyce, Joyce Farmer, J Bradley Johnson, and many, many more.
Underground comics aficionados can choose between several different bundles, including: Zap, Young Lust, Weirdo #1, Weirdo #2, Sexy Strange, Sex and Dope, Firkin, Last Gasp, Strange Undergrounds, Political Undergrounds, Wimmen’s Comix, Zippy, Fantasy Sci Fi #1, Fantasy Sci Fi 2, Adults Only, Classic Underground, or the highly recommended GIANT BUNDLE, which includes 74 comics and will make you instantly cool. JUST ADD DRUGS. These bundles will be available on fab.com for a limited time starting on WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26th! Mark your calendars!

I’m not always excited to go see reunited bands play live, there have just been too many disappointments over the years. But here’s an example of a band who’s first three records I just love to death and now I’m thinking I might have to make this trek out the Parkside on May 28th.
