Sick

Sick, published by Pyramid Books from 1974 to 1976, was a short-lived but sharp comic series that aimed its satire at the absurdities of modern life, from politics to pop culture. With 11 issues, the series was primarily written by Phil Hirsch and Paul Laikin, while legendary artist Joe Simon—co-creator of Captain America—teamed with Tony Tallarico to deliver the punchy, often grotesque visuals. A product of its era, Sick stands as a brash, unapologetically crude humor magazine that pushed the boundaries of what a mainstream comic could say.
