Real Pulp Comics

    (Print Mint, 1971, 1973)

"Real Pulp Comics is a terrific two-issue anthology that came along in the heyday of underground comics and during the peak of Roger Brand as both a comics creator and an editor ... Brand's expertise about 1930s and '40s comic art, popular culture and pulp fiction was a direct influence on the themes he set for both issues of Real Pulp Comics ... Brand was one of the first to recognize the talents of Art Spiegelman, just 22 years old and working at Topps Bubble Gum when he began developing the first of three memorable stories about "The Viper," two of which appear in Real Pulp (the third one was in Bijou Funnies #7) ... Real Pulp Comics #1 is also historically important for featuring the first appearance of Bill Griffith's Zippy (the pinhead) character."
