#01 Hilarious Hijinx
Bijou Publishing Empire, Summer 1968
contributors: Skip Williamson, Jay Lynch, Robert Crumb, Gilbert Shelton, Dave Herring
One of the all-time classic underground comic book series, Bijou Funnies launched in Chicago in 1968, just six months after Zap Comix #1. Editor Jay Lynch was joined by Skip Williamson, Jay Kinney, Gilbert Shelton and Robert Crumb for the first issue, producing a comic that by today’s standards (or even the standards of 1968) is relatively mild and hardly revolutionary. Yet it was.
