OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM.

Weirdo was a magazine-sized comics anthology created by Robert Crumb and published by Last Gasp from 1981 to 1993.

Weirdo served as a "low art" counterpoint to its contemporary rival RAW, Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly's highbrow alternative comics anthology. Early issues of Weirdo reflect Crumb's interests at the time – outsider art, fumetti, Church of the SubGenius-type anti-propaganda and assorted "weirdness."

Picking up where Zap stopped, Weirdo, under three different editors, defined a new aesthetic for the '80s, opening the way for a whole new comics literacy for a new generation of readers.

Featuring great work by some of the best underground comix artists of that period.





For fans of the counterculture underground comix!
