Colin Upton's Big Black Thing #1

Compilation of the self-published work of Colin Upton selected by Editor Roberta Gregory.

Colin Upton discovered the small press comics movement during the 1980s, an anarchic sub-culture of cartoonists who happily rejected the need for publishers or editors to create and distribute their comics themselves. Much of this issue was produced as a small mini-comics (small, cheap photocopied 8 - 12 page pamphlets) and sent through the mail as a major method of distribution for trade or sale.
