Finally, what the world has been waiting for - a big, oversized collection of Gerald Jablonski's psychedelically underground, absurdly avant-garde comics!

For anyone interested in the history of underground comics, this is an essential companion. Previously only seen in limited-run pamphlets, these comics are startling, visionary, hilarious, profane and profound. This volume also takes a look back at the wild eight-page sex comics called 'Tijuana Bibles' which set a precedent for the contemporary underground comics in this book.
