Underground Comix- No Exit

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. In 1978, Last Gasp started publishing Anarchy Comics, which would become a four issue series. Here we look at a story about punks & anarchy from Anarchy #3.
The cover of Anarchy #3 was drawn by Dutch artist Peter Pontiac. No Exit was drawn by artist Paul Mavrides. The story was by cartoonist & writer Jay Kinney. Anarchy is a political movement that was practiced by the IWW or Wobblies, the Paris Commune, the Black Army of Ukraine during the Russian Revolution & Civil War, & workers' militias on the Republican side during the Spanish Civil War. Hardcore still seems to be going strong.
