Read Yourself Raw #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the first three issues of the groundbreaking 1987 anthology series Read Yourself Raw, a showcase for raw, unfiltered alternative comics from the late 1980s. Featuring early work by notable creators, the collection includes stories with characters like Amy Tilsdale, Dog Boy, and Jordan Levine, reflecting the series' edgy, experimental tone. Pantheon's edition preserves the original black-and-white artwork and the raw energy that defined this influential short-lived title.
In the 1987 anthology Read Yourself Raw #nn, the story "At last! Huf! Hi Piker! (Los Garriris)" unfolds with quiet tension as two middle-aged men, Mr. Wilcox and Mr. Conrad, share a drink in a dimly lit bar and find unexpected common ground. Written by Carlos Sampayo, Eliette Markbein, and Steve Guarnaccia, and illustrated with striking precision by José Muñoz—his inks lending a haunting depth to the mood—the tale builds a slow-burning unease beneath a surface of casual conversation. The cover, a stark and surreal piece by Art Spiegelman, captures the story’s off-kilter tone with its distinctive, hand-drawn intensity.
