WEIRDO #17

Picking up where Zap stopped, Weirdo, under three different editors, defined a new aesthetic for the '80s, opening the way for a whole new comics literacy for a new generation of readers. R. Crumb, P. Bagge and Aline Kominsky edited three phases of Weirdo, respectively the "Personal Confessions", The "Coming of the Bad Boys", the "Twisted Sisters". Each phase produced a crop of new cartoonists. Issue 17 features the works of M.A. McMillan, Lynn Von Schlichting, David Ostrem, J.D. King, Linda Crothers, Stanley Mouse, S. Clay Wilson, Ken Weiner, Drew Friedman & Eddie Gorodetsky, Diane Noomin, A. Mostrom, Dougan.
