The Lizard Press

Les Smolenski’s The Lizard Press, published under his own Lizard imprint from 1988, is a compact, three-issue creator-owned series that showcases his distinctive, offbeat storytelling. Known for its quirky, underground-comics sensibility, the series stands as an early example of self-published work from the era, reflecting the DIY ethos that defined many independent comics of the late 1980s. Its brief run makes it a curious artifact for fans of Smolenski’s idiosyncratic style.
