Real Rubbie

Colin Upton’s Real Rubbie (1985–1986) was a six-issue underground miniseries from a singular Canadian creator, written and drawn entirely by Upton. A raw, self-published artifact of the mid-80s alternative scene, it stands as a fiercely personal and unvarnished document of its era, showcasing Upton’s distinctive, punk-inflected storytelling before he became a noted figure in the small-press world.
