The Underground Revolution. The comix of the title emerged in 1960s America as a reaction to ultra-conservative and patriotic comics produced by the large corporations. Bored with superheroes, many artists such as Robert Crumb and Gilbert Shelton produced their own pamphlets with a new and revolutionary style, freely attacking politicians, the war in Vietnam and corporate America. Comix is a homage both to the motivation and the talent of the artists working then and now in the genre. The book graphically expresses a range of attitudes from drugs, Rock 'n' Roll and sex to politics, big business and women's liberation.
