Auto-Be Recycled

Greg Irons’s sole issue of Auto-Be Recycled, published by Last Gasp in 1980, is a singular artifact of underground comix, blending his signature detailed, grotesque linework with a darkly satirical take on consumer culture and environmental decay. As both writer and artist, Irons crafts a dense, surreal narrative that reflects the era’s countercultural anxieties, making this one-shot a distinctive, if brief, entry in the publisher’s storied catalog of provocative, independent comics.
