Best of Comix Book: When Marvel Comics Went Underground

Out Dec. 24, 2013.

In 1974, legendary Marvel Comics publisher Stan Lee approached underground pioneer Denis Kitchen and offered a way for them to collaborate. Their resulting series was called Comix Book and featured work by many of the top underground cartoonists including Joel Beck, Kim Deitch, Justin Green, Harvey Pekar, Trina Robbins, Art Spiegelman (first national appearance of Maus), Skip Williamson, and S. Clay Wilson. The Best of Comix Book showcases 150-pages of classic underground comix (printed on newsprint, as they originally appeared), many never before reprinted, and features an essay illustrated with correspondence, photographs, and unpublished artwork. Featuring an Introduction by Stan Lee, The Best of Comix Book is the first collection from the new collaboration between Dark Horse and Kitchen Sink Books.
