Sleazy Scandals of the Silver Screen

Kim Deitch’s Sleazy Scandals of the Silver Screen, a single 1978 issue from Kitchen Sink Press, serves up a lurid, fictionalized peek behind Hollywood’s golden-age curtain. Deitch, both writer and artist, packs the book with his signature scratchy, hallucinatory style, spinning a tall tale of Tinseltown’s most sordid secrets. It’s a cult oddity—a compact, self-contained fever dream from an underground comix master that matters for its unhinged, one-shot exploration of celebrity mythmaking.
