About this Collection

This volume collects the second issue of the landmark avant-garde comics anthology Raw, originally published in 1989 by Penguin. Featuring a mix of underground and alternative cartoonists, it showcases raw, experimental storytelling from the cutting edge of the medium, including contributions from artists like Art Spiegelman and others associated with the Raw movement. The collection captures the gritty, unpolished aesthetic that defined the series' influence on independent comics.
