The Checkered Demon. Issues 1-3, with The Portfolio
San Francisco: The Last Gasp, 1970. Softcover. Very Good. Item #49033
Issues 1, 2, and 3, with the Portfolio. 1977-79. Portfolio 1970. Light nicks and creases to covers, two with little paper price stickers. Issue 2 cover very lightly creased vertically in the middle and upper right corner, and with a couple of shallow chips along bottom edge. Overall, nice clean copies. The Checkered Demon was a cornerstone of underground comix, and introduced S. Clay Wilson's most notorious character - a violent and obscene antihero rampaging through surreal, chaotic landscapes filled with pirates, bikers, and grotesques. Wilson's signature style is densely detailed, anarchic, and unfiltered and on full display here, making this title a must-have for fans of transgressive comix and countercultural art.
