Wonder Wart-Hog and the Nurds of November: Gilbert Shelton's Exciting Cartoon Novel of Election-Year Politics, International Nuclear Terror, Professional Football, Science Fiction, Motorcycle and Auto Racing, Pestilence, Famine, Economic Collapse

A single, sprawling 1980 graphic novel from Rip Off Press, Wonder Wart-Hog and the Nurds of November is Gilbert Shelton’s satirical epic cramming election-year politics, nuclear terror, professional football, and apocalyptic collapse into one outrageous package. As the creator of the underground comix icon Wonder Wart-Hog, Shelton unleashes his signature counterculture humor across a dense, multi-genre narrative. It stands as a landmark of the underground comix era, a maximalist parody that gleefully skewers the chaos of its time.
