Underground Comix- LSD

This is another diary about that Sixties art form, underground comix. After Zap Comix, The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, Bijou Funnies & other comix were published, the field exploded. Companies like Rip Off Press, Last Gasp Eco-Funnies, & Kitchen Sink Press started churning out hundreds of titles a year. Kitchen Sink started a new title called Dope Comix in the late Seventies. Dope #3 came out in 1979.NSFW.
Let's look at a story by Steven Stiles about the defining drug of the Sixties, LSD.
This was drawn by Steven Stiles, who has a website here. A copy of Dope #3 may be bought here. Kitchen Sink Press is defunct, but here is the founder's website deniskitchen.com. A good book about the introduction of LSD to America is Storming Heaven by Jay Stevens. You may order the book from Amazon.com. I do not promote, recommend or disavow the use of LSD. I do promote & recommend Larry Carlson.
