Air Pirates Funnies

    (Hell Comics, 1971)
™ and © Hell

"Air Pirates was more than just a couple of underground comics, it was a formally named band of artists founded by Dan O'Neill and included Shary Flenniken, Bobby London, Gary Hallgren, and Ted Richards. The Air Pirates made a courageous stand for freedom of expression back in 1971 when they took on corporate America over the rights of artists to lampoon entertainment icons ... The Air Pirates comic books (there were only two, plus a later tabloid) are not masterpieces of the underground comics era, but they are essential reading for gaining historical perspective on the era and recognizing the dangers inherent to many underground comic creators; and the dangers of censorship to all Americans." -- comixjoint/airpirates.html
