About the series
Over two decades and ten issues, Slow Death (1970–1992) from Last Gasp carved a singular niche as the first underground comix series to focus unflinchingly on ecological and political themes, blending counterculture anger with surreal, often grotesque satire. Anchored by the visionary art of Greg Irons, Rand Holmes, and Jaxon, and with writing contributions from Irons, Dave Sheridan, and Eric Kimball, it became a raw, influential voice in the underground movement, presaging modern eco-comics with its stark warnings about pollution, overpopulation, and corporate greed.
