Underverse - 616

Set Description
Collection of key comix anthologies and titles from 1968 to 1980 with a focus on the Golden Age of Undergrounds 1968 - 1973. Set does include complete runs that do extend beyond 1980 such as Zap Comix, Rip Off Comix, Slow Death, and Death Rattle.

Set Goals
Basic tenet is to have complete runs, highest grades, and Haight-Ashbury pedigrees. While I love the work of Robert Crumb, I have not attempted to collect every comix he contributed to. However, given his proclivity for work and his influence, I have come close to doing just that. Most of the one offs contained here will have Crumb DNA.

This issue is difficult to find in pristine condition due to the blue card stock fading and being prone to corner bumps.
