Sleazy Scandals of the Silver Screen

Art Spiegelman’s Sleazy Scandals of the Silver Screen is a single-issue comic from 1974, published by Cartoonists Co-Op Press, that skewers Hollywood’s tawdrier side with biting satire. Written and drawn entirely by Spiegelman, it stands as an early, sharp-edged example of his underground comix sensibility, predating his later landmark work. Though brief, its acerbic take on celebrity culture and the film industry makes it a notable artifact of the era’s countercultural comics scene.
