Aline Kominsky

Few characters blur the line between autobiography and comics art quite like Aline Kominsky, who burst onto the underground scene in 1977's Dirty Laundry Comics — a Bronze Age debut that placed her squarely in the irreverent, anything-goes world of alternative publishing through Apex Novelties. Across roughly two decades, she shares pages with some of underground comix's most legendary presences — Robert Crumb, Mr. Natural, Fritz the Cat, and Flakey Foont among them — putting her at the very heart of that countercultural moment. Her appearances across Dirty Laundry Comics, Best Buy Comics, and The Complete Crumb Comics mark her as a figure woven into the fabric of the underground canon, and for collectors and fans who love comics that pushed boundaries and refused to play it safe, Aline Kominsky is absolutely worth seeking out.
