Road Kill by Gary Panter (first edition, 1986)

1986 first edition of this rare collection of sketchbook drawings and comic strips by cartoonist and illustrator Gary Panter, “generally hailed as the ‘King of Punk Art.’ His work forms a missing link between the 1960s underground comix movement and the punk-inspired alternative comic scene a decade later.” (Lambiek.net) Panter’s usual obsessions are on full display here—sex and violence, Rat Fink-esque hot rods and monsters, luchadors, and more.

Published by Carnage Press, MA. 32pp of black-and-white litho printed art, velo bound, with pebbled cardstock (vinyl?) covers, red-printed title/art sticker on the cover, and dot matrix-printed publisher info pasted on the inside covers. Scarce — one of 400 copies made. [PB10]
