Binky Brown

Binky Brown is an underground comics creation who stepped onto the page in 1986's Weirdo #18, born from the pen of the brilliantly idiosyncratic Aline Kominsky-Crumb and published by the legendary Last Gasp imprint. Emerging in the Copper Age's thriving alternative comics scene, this character inhabits a wonderfully strange corner of the underground, appearing across Weirdo and The New Comics Anthology in the company of some of the era's most vital voices — Dori Seda, Robert Crumb, Carol Tyler, and DiDi Glitz among them. With only a handful of catalog appearances across a run stretching into the early '90s, Binky Brown is a rare find, the kind of character whose scarcity makes each appearance a genuine discovery for collectors digging into the rich, irreverent world of Last Gasp's underground output.
