A revival of the landmark 1960s independent anthology, this 2014 series from Fantagraphics continues the spirit of its predecessor by showcasing experimental, creator-owned work from a range of established and emerging talents. Over its two issues, it offers a curated mix of short stories, illustrations, and comics that prioritize artistic freedom over commercial convention. The project is most closely associated with its original founder, Wally Wood, whose vision for a non-mainstream outlet for comics artists remains the guiding ethos. Though brief, this revival is a meaningful touchstone for fans of alternative and underground comics, reaffirming the enduring appeal of creator-driven storytelling.
