CRUMB, ROBERT, S. CLAY WILSON — Snatch Comics (No. 1)

Berkeley, CA: The Print Mint, 1972. 4th Printing. Comic. Illustrated by Robert Crumb & S. Clay Wilson. Likely fourth (or fifth) printing, which are virtually identical (according to the Underground Comix Joint) This is a small format comic book. The book is in Very Good+ condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The spine ends and corners of the book covers have some very beginning bumping and wear. The text pages are clean and bright. "[? ? Suspicious Content] Crumb and Wilson give their readers plenty of answers inside the book, with a wide variety of candid sexual snapshots and situations that are presented as much for laughs as they are for lechery. Sure, there's a few squeamish scenes of choking, slapping and assault, but they happen with both men and women being victimized. Far more common are scenes of people enjoying sex in one form or another, with both males and females getting off on the action. There is one six-page story by Crumb near the end of the book that is little more than a masturbatory fantasy of two athletic women (one black, one white) fighting like vicious cats, but except for the fact that their erogenous zones are abused it's no worse than other fictional portrayals of women fighting.
