High Adventure (Kitchen Sink)

(Kitchen Sink, 1973)

"High Adventure was a unique departure from the usual underground comics published by Kitchen Sink, which turned out to hint at a new paradigm to come. Though not an underground in the strictest sense, High Adventure is a sword and sorcery comic that's been freed from the shackles of censorship thanks to the underground movement ... This is the paradigm that would spread like wildfire years later with alternative comics.

Besides being one of the first links between underground and alternative comics, High Adventure provides some terrific stories as well ... This book is also notable for being the first truly professional comic-book artwork produced by the 21-year-old Steve Leialoha." -- comixjoint.com/highadventure.html
