Doctor Feelgood

Doctor Feelgood is an underground comics character from Gilbert Shelton, debuting in the countercultural anthology Rip Off Comix #1. Appearing alongside Shelton's other irreverent creations, the character embodies the freewheeling, satirical spirit of 1970s underground comix.

Born in the freewheeling pages of Rip Off Comix #1 in 1977, Doctor Feelgood is a Bronze Age underground comics creation from the singular Gilbert Shelton — the countercultural genius behind some of the most beloved outlaw cartooning of his generation. Over roughly twelve years, this character kept wild company in Rip Off Press's flagship anthology, sharing those ink-stained pages with the likes of Fat Freddy Freekowtski, Wonder Wart-hog, and Freewheelin' Franklin Freek — a rogue's gallery that tells you everything about the irreverent, anything-goes spirit Doctor Feelgood calls home. With only five catalog appearances, this is a genuine rarity for collectors who love the raw, hand-drawn energy of underground comix at their most unfiltered.
