GRATEFUL DEAD COMIX No. 2 (1991)
One of the editorial frustrations publisher
Denis Kitchen had with Grateful Dead Comix
was the band's insistence on owning all copyrights (underground
cartioonists customarily owned their own creations) and the band's
resistance to the creation of new material (Kitchen thought interpretations
of lyrics were very limiting). Kitchen and Jerry Garcia
met in Chicago and agreed to make the comic more experimental.
That resulted in #2's lead, "The Lille Story," about
the band's problems during an early European tour in May 1972.
The story, provided by Garcia, and cover
was drawn by the late Rand Holmes, who created Harold
Hedd and contributed to many undergrounds like Snarf,
Death Rattle, Bizzarre Sex and Slow Death. This contribution
is one of Holmes' few comics to appear in color. Other features
inclde: "Terrapin Station" (part 2 by Dan Steffan;
"Cumberland Blues" by Tim Truman; and "Friend
of the Devil" by surrealist Frank Gresham. A lively
letters section begins this issue. The back cover features a
color photograph of Jerry Garcia proudly holding a copy
of Grateful Dead Comix #1. Printed on recycled paper with
soy inks on a pollution-free web press. 8.5" x 11"
format. Color throughout. Near mint. $12.00
