Zap Comix #16
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "I Wanna Draw but I’m Inhibited… / Prufrock Piggy Strikes Back!", Gilbert Shelton delivers a sharp, surreal satire through the eyes of Phineas, a man stirred by a provocative public demonstrator to don a radical disguise and infiltrate the annual ball of the banking and finance elite. With Shelton’s signature absurdist wit and Paul Mavrides’ dynamic inks bringing the chaos to life, this issue from Fantagraphics pulses with subversive energy. The cover, a striking collaboration by Robert Crumb in both pencils and inks, captures the anarchic spirit of the series.
Phineas, inspired by a public demonstrator he admires, dons a suicide bomber costume and attends the annual ball of the banking and finance elite—where Flora, Fawna, and the Lesbian Speaker are also present, setting the stage for a surreal, satirical evening.
