"Robert Crumb kicked off the underground comics movement with his classic solo first issue of Zap in 1968. By Zap #2, he had begun assembling a dream team of the wildest, most technically skilled and stylistically diverse cartoonists to come out of the countercultural scene. They were a ragtag bunch of fascinating, wide-ranging personalities, from biker-gang member Spain Rodriguez to Christian surfer Rick Griffin, but somehow they all came together to produce a fruitful, decades-long collaboration: a mind-blowing anthology of abstract hallucination, searing social satire, and shocking sexual excess..." – Publisher's blurb.______________________________________________________________
