For Sale: Arcade The Comics Revue. Berkeley, CA: The Print Mint, 1975.

Description

Arcade: The Comics Revue No. 3 (Fall 1975) is a classic underground comics magazine, showcasing the work of some of the most influential names in alternative comics and literature. This issue includes contributions from:

• R. Crumb – Renowned for his subversive art and countercultural influence.

• Charles Bukowski – A literary legend whose raw, unfiltered voice sings in his illustrated (by Crumb) short story “Bop Bop Against That Curtain” about hitting the DTLA Burly-Q theaters on Main Street as a kid during The Great Depression.

• Zippy the Pinhead – Bill Griffith’s iconic character makes an appearance in a Zippy epic.

• Robert Wilson spins a tale of a “Sacred Visitation”.

• Lovecraft Tribute & More – Features “Classics Crucified” and a playful mix of crime and punishment themes.

If you’re a fan of countercultural art, vintage comics, Bukowski and/or Beat literature and you don’t know about Arcade, it’s a key piece of underground comic history.
