Fritz the Cat

Robert Crumb's original underground comix antihero, Fritz the Cat, made an unexpected return in 2002 with a single new issue from independent publisher Conrad. This late-career addition to the series revisits the hedonistic, satirical world of the feline protagonist, maintaining Crumb's signature raw, expressive linework and countercultural edge. Though brief, the issue stands as a notable coda to one of the most iconic and controversial characters of the 1960s underground comix scene.
