Underground Classics

The Transformation of Comics into Comix

Buch

The impact of American underground comics is profound: They galvanised subsequent generations of cartoonists both domestically and abroad; they forever changed the economics of comics publishing at all levels; and they even influenced earlier generations of artists. While the works of Robert Crumb and Art Spiegelman are well-known via The New Yorker, Maus, the art of contemporaries such as Gilbert Shelton, Tina Robbins, Justin Green, Kim Dietch, S. Clay Wilson, and many other important cartoonists who came of age in the 1960s, is considerably less known. UNDERGROUND CLASSICS provides the first serious survey of underground comix as art.

Über den Autor

Denis Kitchen, cartoonist, writer, editor, publisher and entrepreneur, was present at the birth of the underground comics movement. From his first self-published effort, Mom's Homemade Comics #1 in 1968, Kitchen has worked with every important artist active in producing underground comix. This long relationship with other artists, many of whom he published through Krupp Comics Works and Kitchen Sink Press, is the basis for both the exhibition and this catalogue.
