Violence Says: Love Me, America!

Clay Geerdes' Violence Says: Love Me, America! is a raw, single-issue artifact of the late 1970s underground comix scene, published in 1979. Most closely associated with artist Dotty Bucher, whose work appears throughout, this comic channels the era's countercultural satire into a pointed, anarchic critique of American society. A brief but potent snapshot of its time, it stands as a minor but distinctive entry in the canon of self-published, politically charged comix.
