Manuel “Spain” Rodriguez was one of the pioneers of underground comics, contributing to the East Village Other and producing the first all-comics tabloid, Zodiac Mindwarp. Rodriguez joined the mass migration of underground comic creators from New York to San Francisco in 1969, where he joined the exclusive club of Zap Comix contributors. His signature character is Trashman, hero of the working class, but Rodriguez produced a broad array of comics for many early undergrounds like Insect Fear, Thrilling Murder, and Snatch Comics.
