Hysteria in Remission: The Comix & Drawings of Robt. Williams #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together a selection of comix and drawings by underground cartoonist and painter Robt. Williams, spanning his career from the 1960s onward. Published by Fantagraphics in 2002, the volume showcases Williams' signature blend of surreal, grotesque, and meticulously detailed imagery, often exploring themes of pop culture, sexuality, and the absurd. It serves as a visual retrospective of his influential work in the lowbrow and underground comix movements.
"Masterpiece on the Shithouse Wall" is a wild, surreal ride from Robert Williams, who writes, draws, inks, and letters this fever-dream comic with gleeful abandon. When The Macheesmoe, The He-She, and Count Fifi snatch the Police Chief’s daughter and Tutankhamun’s tablet, chaos escalates toward a bizarre showdown over the Nectar of Satan—a clump of jizz—set against Williams’ signature grotesque, psychedelic visuals. The cover, also by Williams, captures the same unhinged energy, making this a must-have for fans of his singular, off-kilter artistry.
In a surreal twist of pulp absurdity, The Macheesmoe, The He-She, and Count Fifi hijack both the Police Chief’s daughter and Tutankhamun’s tablet, setting off a bizarre chain of events that culminates in a showdown over The Nectar of Satan—a bizarre, sticky prize that defies all logic. Written and drawn with fever-dream intensity, this 7-page tale from Robt. Williams’ *Hysteria in Remission* is a grotesque, hilarious, and utterly unpredictable ride through a world where ancient relics and bodily fluids collide.
In "Rotten to the Core," a chaotic jam sequence unfolds as a cast of eccentric characters converges on New York City for the much-anticipated "Zap #12" show, each bringing their own brand of weirdness to the mix. With sharp, surreal flair, the story captures the energy of underground comix in motion, where every panel pulses with the kind of offbeat humor only Robt. Williams could deliver.
