Halsted Street: Torment & Drama from the Hog Butcher #[nn]

Skip Williamson's Halsted Street: Torment & Drama from the Hog Butcher is a vivid collection of comic art capturing the gritty, neon-lit energy of Chicago street life — the cover alone, with its cartoonish storefronts, a sleek red car, and an elephant mascot cruising the strip, sets a wonderfully eccentric tone. This Kitchen Sink Press hardcover from 1990 comes as a signed and numbered limited edition (this being copy #109 of 350), accompanied by a black-and-white bookplate featuring Williamson's wild, densely packed creature art. At $17.95, it's a substantial showcase of underground comics craft presented with the care and collectibility that Kitchen Sink was known for.
