Moonchild Comics

(San Francisco, 1968-1970)

"Moonchild was a rather bizarre-looking space-traveling pixie/vixen with huge eyes and even bigger boobs ... There's no doubt the first two issues of Moonchild possess a certain charm due to Moonchild's unpretentious yet erotic persona, which is clearly intended to be sexy but also is kind of creepy with her child-like eyes and stubby, baby-like legs ...

Moonchild Comics #1 was self-published by Cuti in 1968, which makes it one of the earliest underground comics, though at only eight pages it could be considered a precursor to the mini-comics era in the '70s and '80s. But by 1969, San Francisco Comic Book Company would publish the second issue, proving the viability of the character, at least within underground circles.

Cuti would take the title back for self-publishing the third issue in September, 1970, which expanded to 32 pages and included several other comic creators. However, with only 100 copies printed, it seems self-evident that the series would not continue as Cuti moved on to other pursuits, and that the third issue may have been printed just to satisfy the contributors to the book." -- comixjoint.com/moonchildcomics.html
