Zap Comix #2

This comic is in Very Good- condition and was issued without a dust jacket. This is the first edition with heavy cardstock covers, a 50 cent price and is published by Apex Novelties. The comic and its contents are in generally clean condition. The illustrated covers have some ground in dirt and light spots of foxing (especially to the rear cover). There is some beginning bumping and rubbing to the spine ends and corners of the book covers. The text pages are generally clean, though there is some light generalized toning. "Zap Comix is an underground comix series which was originally part of the counterculture of the late 1960s. While a few small-circulation self-published satirical comic books had been printed prior to this, Zap became the model for the "comix" movement that snowballed after its release. The title itself published 17 issues over a period of 46 years. Premiering in early 1968 as a showcase for the work of Robert Crumb, Zap was unlike any comic book that had been seen before. While working on Zap #1, Crumb saw a Family Dog poster drawn by Rick Griffin which resembled a psychedelic version of a Sunday funnies page. Its surreal, other-worldly imagery inspired him to think about comics in a new way, as seen in the art style of Zap #1's Abstract Expressionist Ultra Super Modernistic Comics.
