Weirdo #23
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "What If Underground Comix Went Overground?", the surreal world of underground comics collides with Cold War absurdity as Soviet apparatchik Minister Oblimov scrambles to contain a bizarre threat: the sudden, fashionable rise of daring footwear. With Spain Rodriguez handling art, inks, and lettering, and Robert Crumb bringing his iconic style to the cover, this 1988 issue from Last Gasp blends political satire and countercultural flair in a story that’s as sharp as it is strange.
Minister Oblimov, a man whose nerves are as brittle as a frozen pipe, launches a desperate campaign to stop Big Bitch’s bold new venture with Soviet officials—fueled by nothing more than a fear of stylish footwear spreading through the ranks. With S. Fulmanova as his reluctant agent and Asquith lurking in the shadows, the fate of Soviet fashion—and perhaps the entire state—hangs on a single, absurdly high-stakes meeting.
