The Tijuana Bibles: America's Forgotten Comic Strips #1

This first volume of a two-book series from Fantagraphics collects a selection of the illicit, underground comic pamphlets known as Tijuana bibles—crudely drawn, sexually explicit mini-comics that circulated in America from the 1920s through the 1950s. Featuring popular cartoon characters and celebrities in bawdy, unauthorized scenarios, these pocket-sized strips offer a raw glimpse into pre-Comics Code underground humor and social taboos. The collection includes historical context and reproductions of the original, often anonymous, artwork.
