Spiffy Stories

Jim Osborne’s Spiffy Stories, a one-shot from The Print Mint Inc in 1969, is a singular artifact of the underground comix era. Written and drawn entirely by Osborne, this single issue captures the raw, satirical energy of the counterculture through its distinctive, often grotesque linework. Though brief in its run, it stands as a pure, unfiltered example of the artist’s personal vision and the unpolished spirit of the late-60s comix scene.
