Underground Comix- No Nukes

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. One of the earliest comix series was Slow Death published by Last Gasp Eco-Funnies. The series was about ecology & environmental destruction, & issue no. 9 was about atomic power. WARNING:NSFW

Well, the cover got it wrong. Nuclear plants can't explode like a bomb. Maybe some idiot connected the sprinkler system to the sodium coolant pipes after a 4 day coke binge. Or the Secret Army of the Infant Jesus car bombed the plant as a protest of 'degeneracy'(the utility recently decided to give partner benefits to all its' employees,married & unmarried.)

The cover was drawn by Greg Irons who was run over by a bus in Bangkok Thailand in 1984. Lights Out was done by Errol McCarthy. Last Gasp Eco-Funnies has evolved into Last Gasp Publishing. Atomic power is still around, with debate both pro and con.
