	St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Zap Comix
		Considered by pop-culture critics to be the quintessential underground comic book of the 1960s,; Zap Comix can trace its genealogy to the publication of Jack Jaxon's God Nose in 1963.
		Zap's content ranged widely, from instructions on how to smoke a joint to quasi-pornographic features like "Wonder Wart Hog," in which the eponymous swine overcomes his impotence by using his snout.
		Zap Comix were often sold in head shops, sharing counter space with bongs and roach clips, making them the unofficial bibles of the tuned-in, turned-on generation of hippies and other countercultural folk.

		He would present his ideas in a comic book, ZAP #1, which laid the foundation for virtually all of the work which has been produced under the label of 'alternative comics'.
		These 'underground comix,' however, consisted largely of satirical attacks on mainstream society and Rabelaisian fantasies of transgressive pleasure; they tended to look like MAD magazine with nudity, blood and curse words.
		ZAP #1 still demonstrated his role as Comic Artist by Appointment to the Court of His Majesty King Hippie, particularly on the covers: the front cover shows a woman being chastised for not getting the meaning of 'Do-wah-diddy,' the back is a mock advertisement for smoking cannabis.

		The comix clearly owe a debt to surrealism, particularly to the surrealist notion that irrational and socially repressed imagery has the potential to liberate the individual from stultifying habits of thought.
		Comix are also indebted—at least in the minds of some of their creators—to the then-new psychedelic drug LSD, which they saw as an agent for just that sort of liberation.
		Zap #4 was condemned by at least one court, but the momentum of the comix overcame the effect of such judgments: Zap #4 has been sold for decades without incident.

	Underground Comix
		Usually sold in what were known as "head shops," underground comix generally reflected the rebellious mood of the 1960s counterculture movement: down with the establishment; make love - not war; drugs; rock n’ roll; women’s liberation, and eventually save the whales and most of the other social issues of the day.
		Although there were a few earlier books (the term underground comix hadn’t even been invented yet), Robert Crumb’s Zap Comix # 1 is generally considered the one which started the whole underground comix movement.
		Underground comix continued to be produced throughout the 70s and later but the lofty sales figures they had reached in the early 70s was clearly over.

		Back in 1968, underground comix attacked the peremptory values of a conservative society that less than a decade earlier had imposed strict rules of conduct on its youth.
		Zap began as a com-mix of artists bound together by their collective contempt for conventional mores, yet each individually had varying perspectives from which to draw their respective themes.
		At the same time that Zap #3 was being worked on, Crumb revealed a set of photocopied pages that he originally had prepared for what was to be the first Zap but had given the artwork to a publisher who disappeared with the originals before publication.

	village voice > books > Rebel Visions: The Underground Comix Revolution 1963-1975 by Patrick Rosenkranz by Richard Gehr
		Zap's stoner illuminations and cosmic freestyling inspired scores of innovators and imitators until the bubble burst in 1973 thanks to porn busts, a crackdown on head shops, and market glut.
		Although his exposition is nowhere near as exciting as his subject, Patrick Rosenkranz wisely leaves it to the artists to tell their own stories in this lavish and luridly illustrated monument to the underground's golden era of representing the unthinkable.
		Zap quickly led to the far more prurient Snatch and Cunt comics, and by 1968 the artists were, as Robert Williams put it, "seeing just how absurdly improper you can get before the authorities have to hunt you down." Others moved in the opposite direction.

	Underground comics - Art History Online Reference and Guide
		Underground comix reflect the concerns of the 1960s counterculture: experimentation in all things, drug-altered states of mind, rejection of sexual taboos, ridicule of "the establishment." The spelling "comix" is preferred as this was established to differentiate these publications from maintstream "comics".
		The underground comix were largely distributed though a network of "head shops" which also sold underground newspapers, psychedelic posters, and drug paraphernalia.
		Although many of the underground artists continued to produce work, the underground comix movement is considered by most historians to have ended by 1976, to be replaced by a rise in independent, non-Comics Code compliant publishing companies in the 1980s and the resulting increase in acceptance of adult-oriented comic books (see "alternative comics").
