Arcade the Comics Revue

A landmark of 1970s underground comix, Arcade the Comics Revue was a short-lived but influential anthology published by The Print Mint Inc. Over its seven-issue run, it showcased the era's most vital counterculture cartoonists, most notably Art Spiegelman, Robert Crumb, and Kim Deitch, who blended surreal humor, biting satire, and raw artistic energy. The series introduced recurring oddballs like the neurotic Arnold Peck, the pinheaded Zippy, and the glamorous DiDi Glitz, creating a shared universe of misfits and misanthropes. More than just a collection of strips, Arcade captured the twilight of the underground movement, bridging the gap between the 1960s comix revolution and the more literary graphic narratives to come.
