Underground Classics: The Transformation of Comics into Comix #[nn]

This volume chronicles the seismic shift in American comics during the 1960s and 1970s, when underground comix emerged as a raw, countercultural force. Drawing on the 2009 exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, it surveys key artists like R. Crumb, Art Spiegelman, and Trina Robbins, alongside rare artifacts and essays that trace how the medium broke from mainstream censorship and commercial constraints. A definitive resource for understanding the era's rebellious spirit and lasting influence on graphic storytelling.
