Big Daddy Roth

Based on the wild hot-rod art of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, this series from Millar Publishing Company began in 1964, translating his iconic, cartoonish custom car creations into comic book form. With a run of just four issues, it featured the distinctive artwork of Alex Toth, Mel Keefer, and publisher Pete Millar, with Keefer also handling the writing. A cornerstone of the hot-rod and monster-kustom kulture of the 1960s, it matters as a unique, high-energy artifact that brought Roth's underground art to a wider audience.
