Coochy Cooty

Born from the fertile, rule-breaking imagination of underground comix legend Robert Williams in 1970, Coochy Cooty is a genuine artifact of the Silver Age's wild fringe — the kind of character who could only have crawled out of the counterculture explosion that made Rip Off Press one of the most gloriously transgressive publishers of its era. Headlining their own title, Coochy Cooty Men's Comics, this character shares the anarchic underground with some of the most beloved oddballs in comix history — Wonder Wart-hog, Fat Freddy Freekowtski, Freewheelin' Franklin Freek, and the rest of that magnificently strange crew. With appearances spanning from 1970 into 1983 across Rip Off Comix and their own book, Coochy Cooty represents a corner of comics history that collectors of underground art absolutely need on their radar — raw, irreverent, and unmistakably of its moment.
