Cadaver Capers

Though it ran for only a single issue in 1980, Cadaver Capers stands as an idiosyncratic artifact of the underground comix era, created by the singular cartoonist Clay Geerdes. Published outside the mainstream, the comic offers a macabre, offbeat glimpse into Geerdes’s darkly humorous sensibility. Its brief, self-contained existence makes it a curious footnote for collectors of obscure, creator-driven work from the period.
