Underground Comics

Comics Small Publishers
#1

I was given a lot of underground comics a few months ago. Finally getting around to going through and listing them.

Some of these titles, like Zap Comix it’s very difficult to distinguish the printing…and there can be a lot of them.

Anyway, came across this website that’s been extremely helpful.

If anyone is interested in underground comics, I can send you a list of what I have. I may post some pics here just to show what I have.

I’m just looking to move them for a few bucks. They’re not in great shape, but trying to save them from the incinerator.

Thanks! I’ll follow this thread.

Some of that early Robert Crumb is hard to tell which printings. It’s subtle so i look at ebay listings of CGC comics of those printings and then i read the labels and compare the covers to figure which is which.

Where did you get them and do you have a list

My Mother-in-Laws friend’s husband passed away a while back…she didn’t know what to do with them. I initially looked through them and didn’t see anything exciting. A few were maybe $20 books on a good day. But they were stored loose in a box for decades. Spine rolls, creases, foxing.

I can put a list together tomorrow. But I’ll post some pics that I have so far.

Actually, some are so hard to tell CGC gets it wrong.

Zap Comix 4 the only way to tell 1st from 2nd is the upper staple placement. Another one it was the weight of the paper…crazy.

That Robert Crumb guy was everywhere! I see his name on most of these books, it seems.

Fogel’s guide is great for figuring out printings too.
