Mr. Natural would be pleased

This book offers a simple straightforward history of underground Comics here, in Europe, and the UK. It's briskly written, nicely illustrated, and a good addition to a very small cadre of books. For all the attention the underground gets, there really aren't that many good books about the scene. This is one of them. And attention is paid to more obscure artists, not just the big wigs like Crumb, Moscoso, & Rick Griffiths. Nice stuff on the UK, most of that work is hard to find here or never came here at all.
