Cocaine Comix

A raw artifact of the underground comix scene, Cocaine Comix ran for four issues between 1975 and 1982 from publisher Last Gasp, channeling the era's countercultural excess into a chaotic, satirical anthology. The series is most associated with a rotating core of artists and writers including George DiCaprio, Pete von Sholly, Red Grant, Palle Jensen, and Rich Chidlaw, who filled its pages with grotesque humor and pointed social commentary. It stands as a time capsule of the medium's unfiltered, pre-censorship creative freedom, reflecting the gritty, drug-fueled edge that defined the tail end of the underground movement.
