Zap Comix #12
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1989 collection reprints the twelfth issue of the legendary underground comix series Zap Comix, originally published by Last Gasp. Featuring the iconic work of Robert Crumb and other counterculture artists, this volume continues the series' tradition of satirical, surreal, and boundary-pushing comics that defined the underground comix movement of the 1960s and beyond.
"Arthur" is a standout tale from Robert Crumb’s legendary run in Zap Comix #12, a 1989 release from Last Gasp. In this surreal, hand-drawn story, Crumb imagines the unlikely rise of Cave Wimp, a frail Neolithic outcast whose accidental moment in the spotlight briefly elevates him among the clan’s alpha males. The cover, a striking collaboration by Spain Rodriguez, captures the comic’s offbeat, raw energy.
