Mickey Rat

Mickey Rat is a raw, underground comix one-shot from 1972, published by the Los Angeles Comic Book Company. Created by Chester Crill and Robert Armstrong, this single issue stands as a scrappy, irreverent artifact of the era, offering a satirical take on the counterculture through its titular character. Its significance lies in its pure, unfiltered expression of the early '70s underground scene, capturing a moment when comics were a vehicle for transgressive, DIY storytelling.
