Rip Off Comix #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Think Eighties" delivers a wild, satirical ride from Harry Driggs, who handles every aspect of the interior art, writing, inking, and lettering with sharp, offbeat energy. In this 1979 gem from Rip Off Press, the Mom Squad races against time to stop Captain Blast’s laser strobe cannon from turning Earth into a pulsing, mind-controlled spectacle—while the cover, a collaborative fever dream by Gilbert Shelton, Harry Driggs, Joel Beck, Dave Sheridan, Ted Richards, Bill Griffith, and Paul Mavrides, pulses with the era’s anarchic spirit.
In "Mom Squad and the Space Pirates!", the titular team of intrepid mothers investigates strange new craters on the moon, only to confront the flamboyant Captain Blast and his laser strobe cannon as he plots to dominate Earth. With their wits, courage, and a little help from their cosmic curiosity, the Mom Squad stands ready to defend the planet—no matter the odds.
