A History of Underground Comics by Mark James Estren
Copyright by Mark James Estren. Published by Ronin Publishing. Over 300 pages - softcover. $17.95 cover price. Kennedy guide # 987.
Originally published by Straight Arrow Books in 1974, this is the Ronin Publishing third edition from 1993.
From the back cover:
Underground comics have delighted and outraged over 50 million people. The golden age of underground comics has the most lavish collection (over 1,000 drawings) of these "comix" to ever appear in one book. With the co-operation of the cartoonists themselves, Mark Estren, an eminently qualified journalist, put together the stories behind the stories.
The History of Underground Comics includes work by: Robert Crumb, Gilbert Shelton, Bill Griffith, S. Clay Wilson, Richard Corben, Jay Lynch, Skip Williamson, Trina Robbins, Justin Green, Jay Kinney, Joel Beck, Dave Sheridan, John Thompson, Jaxon, Spain Rodrigez, George Metzger, Foolbert Sturgeon, Victor Moscoso, Kim Deitch, Rick Griffin, and many others... In my opinion, this is a must have book for anyone into undergrounds. The Kennedy guide would top the list, of course, but this would be right behind it.
Uncirculated, new as published.
