The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers

Gilbert Shelton’s iconic counterculture trio—Freewheelin’ Franklin, Phineas, and Fat Freddy—returned for a German-language revival from Rotbuch Verlag, spanning five issues between 1987 and 1993. Shelton both wrote and drew the series, continuing the brothers’ hazy, anarchic adventures with his signature underground comix sensibility. This run matters as a late-period extension of one of the most beloved stoner comic franchises, keeping the spirit of the 1960s alive for a new European audience.
