Comics and Stories (Joel Beck’s…)

    (Kitchen Sink, 1977)
™ and ©1977 Joel Beck

This black-and-white collection from Kitchen Sink reprints some of the first underground comics stories to come out of the mid-1960s, the student movement, and the Berkeley campus. Like most of the early underground comics, Joel Beck’s work draws inspiration from the E.C. horror titles of the 1950s in terms of irreverence and the revolutionary spirit of the times in which it was produced. Witness the first appearances of Marching Marvin, Lenny of Laredo, and The Profit—very much products of the 1960s and the emerging social awareness.
