Nasty Tales

Richard Corben's early, raw energy dominates Nasty Tales, a seven-issue underground comix series from Meep Comix Group that ran from 1971 to 1972. This short-lived title captured the counterculture's gritty, unfiltered edge, offering a mix of satirical horror and psychedelic storytelling. While not as widely remembered as some of its contemporaries, it remains a key artifact of the early '70s underground scene, showcasing Corben's distinctive, muscular artwork before his more famous work at Heavy Metal.
