The Scum Also Rises: An Anthology of Comic Art #[nn]

A 1988 anthology from Fantagraphics collecting a range of underground and alternative comic artists, this volume takes its title from a play on Ernest Hemingway's novel. It features a diverse lineup of creators, showcasing the raw, satirical, and often transgressive work that defined the late-80s independent comics scene. The collection serves as a snapshot of the era's countercultural comic art, with contributions from both established and emerging talents of the time.
