Robert Crumb is God.
He was going to tour Australia, but a fucking tabloid called him a pedophile, so he cancelled.
I also grok Vaughn Bode. He influenced a whole generation of graffiti artists, but the kids influenced by the kids who copied the kids who were inspired by the kids who ripped off the kids who copied his work have probably never heard of him by this point.

They're an interesting part of comic book history despite being overshadowed by the vulgarity of some of them. Plus, they're kind of a remnant of the kinda hippies that actually went out and did shit instead of posturing from the sidelines.

Moebius counts as underground?
I bought some comics from this local artist at comic con in July so I wonder if that would count as underground. Its in black and white.

I don't how much more underground it can get. Is there street grifters is dark back alleys with "underground" comics for sale hidden inside of their trench coats?

I really liked Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comics. Despite being leftist, they are pretty self-aware. None of that "enlightenment through drugs" crap, protagonists get high and then fuck everything up. Then there is "Idiots Abroad" arc, which is EPIC, and "War of the Cockroaches" which is so relevant right now it hurts

Moebius is about as "underground" as Stan & Jack… it's just his stuff was originally made and published in frogland.
I'm not sure "underground comics" really exist any more. They were produced to rebel against the code and defy the "kids only" aura that surrounded comics, neither of which really exists anymore. Some Small Press comics imitate the style of the Boomer-era underground comics, I have one at home called "Invasion of the Slimeslurps". But it's not going to upset any establishment figures, after all, Boomers ARE the establishment, now.
I guess if a European ran off some lolicon or antisemitic comics and distributed them anonymously, it would count as being "underground", as it could get them prison time.
Also, roughly contemporary with American underground comics, Japan came out with the similarly-inclined Garo and COM, but as there was no code over there, they were sold in mainstream shops (and, far from being rarities, you can find the bloody things everywhere)
