Happy birthday to artist, cartoonist, and co-founder of
Juxtapoz magazine, Robert Williams, a.k.a. Mr. Bitchin’! In the late 1960s, Robert joined the ranks at
Zap Comix where he created the seminal Underground Comix anti-hero, Coochy Cooty. Our Collector's Treasure of the Day is this
Special Signed Edition of The Complete Zap Comix which includes a portfolio of five gyclée prints, scanned from original pages of Zap art by Robert Crumb, Paul Mavrides, Gilbert Shelton, Robert Williams, and S. Clay Wilson, each signed by the artist. The set collects every issue of
Zap — every cover and every story, and even the Zam mini comic jam among the
Zap artists — in a multi-volume, slipcased hardcover set. It will also include the 17th unpublished issue with work by Crumb, Moscoco, Wilson, Rodriguez, Shelton, Mavrides, and Williams. Plus, an introduction by founder R. Crumb and an oral history of
Zap by Patrick Rosenkranz, and other exclusive bonus features and items.
Zap is the most historically and aesthetically important comics series ever published. Limited to 250 copies.
