The Tijuana Bibles: America's Forgotten Comic Strips #8

This volume continues Fantagraphics' comprehensive archival series dedicated to the illicit, pre-Code underground comic pamphlets known as Tijuana bibles. It reproduces a selection of these crudely drawn, sexually explicit eight-page booklets from the 1920s through the 1950s, featuring both original characters and unauthorized parodies of popular newspaper comic strips and movie stars of the era. The collection provides a historical look at this once-widespread form of American folk pornography and its place in comics history.
