Along with the Grateful Dead, the Cockettes, and Augustus Owsley Stanley III, underground comix were one of the freakiest things to emerge from San Francisco's free-love years. During the '60s, comic artists such as Robert Crumb and Spain Rodriguez started publishing their incendiary strips in the underground free press, and by the end of the decade, comix had come into their own — and SF was the creative epicenter. Curator and artist Dan Fogel has amassed an impressive array of personal drawings, well known comix art (including original covers), and other ephemera from the heyday of the scene, from artists such as Mark Bode, Vaughn Bode, Guy Colwell, Jay Kinney, Dan O'Neill, Trina Robbins, Randy Vogel, and S. Clay Wilson, as well as Crumb and Rodriguez.
