The first complete narrative history of Underground Comix, the countercultural movement from the 1960s, '70s, and '80s that forever changed comics. This subterranean subgenre of comic strips and books was printed in lofts on out-of-date machinery, published in handbound zines and underground newspapers, and distributed in headshops, porno stores, and on street corners. Comix - spelled that way to distinguish the work from its dime-store superhero contemporaries - presented tales of illicit sex, casual drug use, and a transgressive view of American society
