Sex, Rock & Optical Illusions

A single-issue comic from Fantagraphics, Sex, Rock & Optical Illusions (2006–present) collects Victor Moscoso's iconic, psychedelic poster art from the 1960s San Francisco rock scene. Moscoso, a key figure in the underground comix movement, is the sole artist featured, and the book showcases his vibrant, mind-bending designs for bands like the Grateful Dead and Big Brother & the Holding Company. As a document of a pivotal era in both music and visual culture, it captures the explosive energy of the counterculture through Moscoso's signature distorted lettering and kaleidoscopic color.
