"Black Icarus" in Radical America #1 (1969) delivers a wild, satirical ride as Fat Freddy’s junk food cravings spiral into full-blown chaos, pushing the Bros. to pull off a grocery store heist just to keep him from going feral. Written and illustrated by Gilbert Shelton, the issue blends absurdist humor with a raw, countercultural edge, all captured in Shelton’s distinctive, energetic style on both interior and cover.
