Juice City

George Metzger’s Juice City is a singular, self-contained comic from 1977, a psychedelic and satirical one-shot that stands as a cult artifact of the underground comix era. Written and drawn entirely by Metzger, the issue plunges readers into a bizarre, drug-fueled metropolis where reality bends and social norms are gleefully dismantled. While its run is brief, the work captures the anarchic spirit and countercultural energy of its time, showcasing Metzger’s distinctive, intricate linework and his sharp, often surreal commentary. It remains a fascinating snapshot of the medium’s willingness to experiment, valued for its pure, unfiltered creative vision.
