Underground Classics

From 1985 to 1992, Rip Off Press gathered an all-star roster of underground comix legends—including Gilbert Shelton, Frank Stack, Foolbert Sturgeon, and Dave Sheridan—for this 15-issue anthology series. A vital late-era showcase for the irreverent, countercultural spirit that defined the 1960s and '70s underground scene, Underground Classics kept the flame alive with new work from the movement's most distinctive voices. It matters as a definitive capstone collection, proving that the genre's satirical, boundary-pushing energy still thrived long after the initial boom.
