John Maddox Roberts Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Anybody here remember the underground comix artist S. Clay Wilson? He was best known for the Checkered Demon, but he also drew a lot of comix with pirate themes. Recall, this was the late 60's in the golden age of unbelievably depraved and perverted comix. I recall especially his series about "Captain Pissgums and his Pervert Pirates," set aboard the good ship "Foaming Crank." This should give you an idea of the general tenor of the comix. Come to think of it, they may have been more historically accurate than most depictions of the Brotherhood. They just don't make 'em like that anymore.

John Maddox Roberts Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 Arr, Royaliste, I lost all mine many a year ago. Ain't it a shame when your mom tosses out all your comix just because you're 22 and awa' at college? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
