Casual Casual Graphix Magazine

A short-lived but strikingly original anthology from 1985–1986, Casual Casual Graphix Magazine ran for nine issues under the singular vision of writer/artist Peter Dako. Published outside the mainstream, it offered a raw, experimental showcase for Dako's idiosyncratic blend of surreal humor, deadpan observation, and graphic storytelling. The series stands as a cult artifact of the mid-80s small-press scene, capturing a moment when comics were pushing beyond genre into personal, art-comix territory. Its significance lies in its uncompromising, creator-owned approach, presaging the DIY ethos that would define alternative comics in the decades to come.
