Air Pirates Funnies

Gary Hallgren’s Air Pirates Funnies is a single-issue underground comic from 1972, published by the Air Pirates collective. The series is notorious for its satirical, unauthorized use of Disney characters, which led to a landmark copyright infringement lawsuit. Hallgren’s artwork and writing drive this brief but historically significant entry in the underground comix movement, representing a bold, countercultural challenge to corporate ownership of pop culture icons.
