The People’s Comics 6th Printing, February 1975, 28 pages, Golden Gate Publishing, Death of Fritz the Cat, Robert Crumb, Underground Comic $2.95 CoverThis all-Robert Crumb book is famous among underground comic fans for the story about Fritz the Cat getting murdered with an ice pick. Crumb had created Fritz as a young boy and the character became wildly popular after Fritz the Cat was published in 1968, but he was keenly disappointed by Ralph Bakshi’s rated film Fritz the Cat in 1972, and quickly killed the character to prevent any additional films (it didn’t work). Beyond “Fritz the Cat, Superstar,” the insightful “Confessions of R. Crumb” provides plenty to chew on. Crumb conveys a dreadful world filled with appalling people, mundane exercises, inescapable forces and compulsive obsessions, and how living on this planet fs us up from the day we’re born. As Crumb related in The R. Crumb Handbook, “I hate the way the human psyche works, the way we are traumatized and stupidly imprinted in early childhood and have to spend the rest of our lives trying to overcome these infantile mental fixations. And we never ever fully succeed in this endeavor.” Crumb provides the opportunity for readers to take the first step towards addressing their own trauma: by facing its origins and its ramifications, laid bare in The People’s Comics. The back cover features an early contribution from Harvey Pekar, almost four years before the birth of American Splendor. HISTORICAL FOOTNOTES: There are seven printings of this comic book, the 1st by Golden Gate Publishing Company and the latter six by Kitchen Sink Enterprises.

Minowtcomic https://www.ebay.com/usr/minowtcomic OUR STORY – While living in Greenwich Village in the sixties. There was a little store off Bleecker that specialized in underground comics. Every Friday afternoon after work, I’d go there to see what was the latest version just hitting the shelves. With several of my hippy friends grooving, and laughing over Comics, we’d sit around that smoke-filled room, sometimes late into the night. Fast forward, some fifty years later – my wife and I discovered some old cardboard boxes hidden behind junk in the back of our storage locker. It was a dry, cool place and the hundreds of underground comics that had only been read once, were in beautiful condition. It felt like we discovered a pot of gold. We wrote to dozens of book and comic stores with a list of our inventory. They said, there was no interest, no market and offered us little to nothing for the collection. We explained to them that these were complete sets, first editions. To the retail outlets they were worthless, but to us they were priceless. Now we offer them on E-Bay and the collectors are grabbing them up, at our more than fair and reasonable prices. Many we had universally certified with CGC, so you’ll know we’re trustworthy, reliable and have the best of service. Just check the feedback and reviews to know we’re honest and responsible. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and hope you buy them now while they still are available. First come, first serve. Thank you again for your time and interest.
