JIZ No. 1
Jiz Comics #1 is a provocative underground comic by legendary cartoonist R. Crumb, originally published in 1969 by Apex Novelties. Compact in format and printed in black-and-white with a color cover, the comic is a raw and unapologetically explicit example of the underground comix movement. Known for its absurd, satirical, and highly sexual content, Jiz reflects Crumb’s signature blend of grotesque caricature and countercultural critique. Released at a time when underground comics pushed hard against the boundaries of censorship and convention, this issue stands as both a collectible artifact and a striking expression of Crumb’s unfiltered artistic voice. The first printing is especially prized for its rarity and historical value among collectors.
