DiDi Glitz

Born in the pages of Arcade the Comics Revue in 1975, DiDi Glitz is a Bronze Age underground comics creation brought to life by the distinctive collaborative talents of Fowlton Means and Kim Deitch for Last Gasp — one of the most storied publishers of the alternative comics movement. Over a remarkable 26-year publishing span, DiDi carved out a niche presence across titles like Weirdo and Arcade the Comics Revue, sharing ink with an extraordinary roster of underground luminaries including Robert Crumb, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, and Bill Griffith. With a key collector's issue to her name and appearances collected in Life of the Party: The Complete Autobiographical Collection, DiDi Glitz is a genuine artifact of the freewheeling, boundary-pushing spirit that made Last Gasp's underground scene so vital — a character worth tracking down for any serious fan of comics' countercultural golden thread.
