Gordeldier (Armadillo) III

Jim Franklin's Gordeldier (Armadillo) III is a single-issue comic from 1973, published by Real Free Press, that captures the artist's distinctive, offbeat vision. Franklin, the sole creator behind this series, presents a surreal, underground-comics take on the armadillo as a recurring character, blending folk-art sensibilities with countercultural humor. Though brief, the issue stands as a quirky artifact of the early 1970s alternative comics scene, showcasing Franklin's unique voice as both writer and artist.
