Tales of Sex and Death

A brief, two-issue series from The Print Mint Inc. (1971–1975), Tales of Sex and Death is a raw artifact of the underground comix era, primarily driven by the transgressive, confessional work of Justin Green and Roger Brand. As the title promises, the book explores carnal obsession and mortality with the unflinching, often blackly humorous sensibility that defined the movement's outsider spirit. Its significance lies in its unvarnished snapshot of a moment when comics were breaking every taboo, delivered by two of the scene's most distinctive voices.
