Conchy on the Half-Shell

Conchy on the Half-Shell, a single-issue comic from 1973 published by Tempo Books, adapts the popular newspaper strip of the same name into a comic format. Created by artist and writer James Childress, the strip followed the laid-back, counterculture adventures of a talking seashell named Conchy and his beachside friends. This comic represents a brief, early crossover between underground-style humor and mainstream publishing, offering a snapshot of 1970s stoner comedy in print.
