Slow Death Funnies

From 1970, Gary Grimshaw's Slow Death Funnies launched as a singular, counterculture comic from Last Gasp, blending psychedelic art with an ecological consciousness that was ahead of its time. This debut issue, the only one in the series, stands as a raw artifact of the underground comix movement, where Grimshaw's distinctive, swirling visuals delivered a stark warning about environmental decay. Its brief, potent run makes it a curious and influential touchstone for readers exploring the intersection of political activism and comic art.
