This is another diary in a series about underground comix, the art form from the Sixties. After numerous companies such as Rip Off Press, Last Gasp, the Print Mint, & Kitchen Sink Press started, underground comix multiplied. Leftists & anti-corporation activists saw comix as a way to spread information about the scandals of the Establishment. Corporate Crime #1 was published by Educomics in the Seventies.
Educomics published this & An Army Of Principles, All Atomic Comix, Food First, Energy, & other comix.
Leonard Rifas founded Educomics & wrote "The ITT Scandal."
Peter Poplaski drew the above comix. He now lives in southern France in the village of Sauve. He is acknowledged as a first rate
Zorro imitator.
Greg Irons died in 1984 after being run over by a bus in Bangkok. This ended his career in cartooning &
tattooing.
Corporate crime continues today, with the housing bubble crash & BP's oil spill being current examples.
