Bijou Funnies #8
"Geek Brothers!" is a sharp, satirical standout in Bijou Funnies #8, written by Jay Lynch and featuring a cover by Harvey Kurtzman, whose distinctive pencils and inks lend the issue a defiant, almost prophetic edge. The story opens with a pointed editorial warning that the comic’s future hinges on a Supreme Court decision allowing local communities to set their own standards for obscenity—a real and contentious moment in 1973 that deeply affected the comics landscape.
