Powerhouse Pepper

A single-issue oddity from 1973, Powerhouse Pepper was a Real Free Press revival of Basil Wolverton’s manic, grotesque humor style. Featuring the artist’s signature bulbous-nosed, contorted characters, this one-shot stands as a late-career showcase of Wolverton’s uniquely unhinged cartooning. It's a brief but essential artifact for fans of his bizarre, pre-Code energy.
