Customer Reviews

despite its vintage and incompleteness, still a valuable resource for the underground reader/collect

This was the first (1982), and only price guide specifically covering underground comix until Fogel's Underground Comix Price Guide - itself now also apparently out of print! This Jay Kennedy book is now wildly out of date of course -- though undergrounds don't seem to have had the multiple-orders-of-magnitude price increases that most "aboveground" comics have had over the past quarter-century, and many of the prices aren't all THAT different in the later Vogel guide. Regardless of the accuracy - and the somewhat amateurish production of the book - this is nonetheless a must-find for the serious comics/comix devotee, for the quantity of information provided, the pictures, the love and efffort put into it. Tons of pictures, including many in color, and a great cover by - who else? - Robert Crumb.

Loaded

The book begins with the statement that it is reference book not a price guide. True! Tons of information is in here: short articles on 1st amendment issues, Kitchen Sink, conservation, and comix history in general. Pictures of authors and publishers. And a ton of covers reproduced, including over 75 in color.

The Official Underground & Newave Comix Price Guide

This book is the best one for underground comix collectors although over 20 years old and prices not current it's a very valuable reference for determining the printings how many printed etc hard to find a copy at a fair price but if you get hold of one you will be glad
