Spain is one of the true giants of the comics medium. He is a singular artist; his work is unmistakable. -Joe Sacco Spain's take on Che is brilliant and radical. -Art Spiegelman

Spain Rodriguez’s most memorable characters are ferocious femmes fatale: gorgeous and deadly women who can slash and slaughter as fast as any man. You’ll find them all in this volume ― Nasty Elaine, Mara, Mistress of the Void, Sangrella, and his ultimate independent woman, Big Bitch. This also includes a selection of interviews with strong women whom he loved and who inspired him. These stories appeared in Zap, Weirdo, Thrasher Comics, and many other publications as part of Spain’s prolific contributions to the comic medium over a six-decade career.

Reviving an iconic comic series originally published from 1978 to 1986, this exclusive collection brings together the legendary four issues of Anarchy Comics, the underground comic that melded anarchist politics with a punk sensibility, producing a riveting mix of satire, revolt, and artistic experimentation. The anthology features previously unpublished work by Jay Kinney and Sharon Rudahl, along with a detailed introduction by Kinney that traces the history of the comic he founded and provides entertaining anecdotes about the process of herding an international crowd of anarchistic writers. Reintroducing the long-out-of-print underground comic that inspired its readers and united a subculture, this collection includes all 30 original contributors from across the globe, including Clifford Harper, Donald Rooum, Gary Panter, Melinda Gebbie, and Steve Stiles, among other talented writers and illustrators.

An underground icon reflects on their past, exploring significant moments and experiences that shaped their identity. This journey through memories reveals insights into their life, influences, and the cultural landscape that defined their era. Through personal anecdotes and vivid storytelling, the narrative captures the essence of a unique perspective on fame, creativity, and resilience.

In My Life & Times, Spain turns his eye on himself to create his most candid, autobiographical comic stories, which draw on the pivotal moments of his formative years: cruising with teen pals and wild acquaintances; the Buffalo, New York, jazz clubs; close encounters with women and sexuality; and his growth as an artist. Through rarely seen paintings, a sampling of sketchbook pages, and dozens of stories, in addition to essays by historian Patrick Rosenkranz, My Life & Times explains how Spain went from a misguided youth to a high-profile denizen of San Francisco’s Mission District to a community elder who attempted to bridge the gap between underground comix and the emerging Latino Art Movement ― he was even included in the "Neighborhood Heroes" mural at the local middle school. This collection of comics from Zap, Blab!, Young Lust, Rip Off Comix, and The Comics Journal make for Spain's most personal contributions from his over six-decade career.

"In this first volume of a complete collection by the seminal underground cartoonist, autobiographical stories about running with a motorcycle gang are mixed in the adventures of Trashman--and much more. A motorcycle outlaw and one of the original seven cartoonists behind Zap Comix, this is the first volume in a series celebrating the influential force in the underground movement. Spain's Trashman stories form the backbone of this volume, along with his firsthand accounts of riding with the Road Vultures Motorcycle Club (a gang once considered so dangerous that the police chief of Buffalo, New York, declared war on them) and his 1969 East Village Other series about cop corruption, Manning. This first volume is rounded with an informative, inside account of Spain's life and loves in the emerging counterculture of New York's Lower East Side."--Amazon.com
