High School / Mountain

Larry Hubbell’s High School / Mountain is a single, self-contained comic from 1973, published by Last Gasp, that captures a moment of underground comix introspection. Blending autobiographical high school memories with a surreal, mountainous landscape, Hubbell writes and draws a deeply personal, one-shot exploration of adolescence and escape. Its significance lies in its raw, unfiltered voice from the West Coast underground scene, offering a quiet, idiosyncratic counterpoint to the era’s more bombastic comics.
