The Best of Neat Stuff

Peter Bagge’s early solo work for Fantagraphics, The Best of Neat Stuff (1987–present), collects highlights from his celebrated alternative-comics series Neat Stuff. This single-issue showcase distills the raw, chaotic energy of Bagge’s formative years, introducing readers to the neurotic, deadpan humor and grotesque cartooning that would define his later work. It’s a compact, essential snapshot of a key talent in the underground/alternative scene of the late 1980s.
