THRILLING MURDER COMICS
thrilling murder comics
San Francisco Comic Book Co. 1971
This is the kind of underground comic your parents would have warned you about if you had been an impressionable teenager in the early 1970s. Presuming, of course, that your parents were even aware of underground comics and that they were totally square and uncool. For the rest of us (or even those who’ve been properly forewarned), the moment we see Simon Deitch’s lurid cover artwork for Thrilling Murder Comics we begin anticipating the grisly violence to be found within. Fair warning: there are spoilers in this review, so please try to read the book before proceeding.
