Strip AIDS

A benefit comic from 1987, Strip AIDS was a one-shot anthology published by Willyprods and Small Time Ink Ltd to raise funds and awareness during the early years of the AIDS crisis. Featuring contributions from writers Max Handley and Tony Allen, with artist Pete Rigg among its lineup, the book stands as a direct, grassroots response from the UK small-press scene—a snapshot of a community using comics to speak out on a pressing social issue. Its significance lies in its role as an early, activist-minded charity comic, reflecting the medium's capacity for urgent, real-world advocacy.
