Description: Demented Pervert Comix, #1, 1971, Dave Geiser, Yahoo Production Underground ComicStory, Art, and cover by Dave Geiser. Dave Geiser's putrid and prurient examinations of American society's fat underbelly. 36 pages, B&W. MATURE READERS Cover price $0.50.Dave Geiser was quite prolific in the early and mid '70s, producing a slew of his unique comic visions in titles like Saloon, Clowns, Honky Tonk, Pain, Uncle Sham, and Edge City. Yahoo Productions, the publisher of this twin-issue title in the early '70s, was the production company Geiser launched to publish his own work.Geiser arrived in San Francisco in 1969 after graduating from the University of Vermont and soon befriended a litany of musicians, writers and artists. He had been offered a fellowship at Yale University to study art; he chose to stick around San Francisco and explore the limits of the underground comic scene., Geiser talked about the choice he made; “To this day I don’t know if it was the right decision, but I felt like I was in the middle of something that was happening right now and then. I feel like I would have missed something important if I went back northeast to study at Yale.”Besides creating a dozen unique underground comic books, Geiser produced limited edition publications (sometimes signed in his own blood), rock concert posters, album covers, and editorial cartoons for The New York Times. His illustration style is often dense, like S. Clay Wilson's, and every bit as grotesque, but Geiser's eccentric world is grounded in a dark reality that Wilson rarely touches with his ornate, costumed fantasies. Even when Geiser explores a hallucinogenic trip with his characters, they are typically harrowing rides through a sticky corridor of debauchery.Geiser explores those perverse worlds and plenty more in the two issues of Demented Pervert. The first issue is a Gatling gun of searing one-pagers and snappy stories with self-explanatory titles; "Pete Pervert," "Funky Freddie's Womb Room," "Shoe Fetish," "Anal Chastity Belt," and "Pervert o' de Month." Geiser's characters face their worst nightmares and greatest fantasies, and sometimes those are one and the same thing. He also takes a stand for environmental issues and the poisons that corporate America spatters across an entire society. The second issue features less one-shot jokes and more stories, including "Billy Barstool, "North Beach Blanket Bingo," "Hung Low," and "Lester Fester." In the late '70s, Geiser recognized the festering carcass that underground comics had turned into and he stopped drawing comic books. He returned to his original passion from a decade before and went back to New York to take up painting again. His long-term success (meaning his ability to make a living) with abstract painting is indicative of his polished facility with design, color and texture. His short-term success with underground comics helped him hone his observational sensitivity and bull radar. Geiser was one of a kind in the underground comic era. Whether you are grateful for that or yearning for more artists with his vision says a lot more about you than it does about Mr. Geiser.

Stuffyduffycomics https://www.ebay.com/usr/stuffyduffycomics OUR STORY - While living in Greenwich Village in the sixties. There was a little store off Bleecker that specialized in underground comics. Every Friday afternoon after work, I’d go there to see what was the latest version just hitting the shelves. With several of my hippy friends grooving, and laughing over Comics, we’d sit around that smoke-filled room, sometimes late into the night. Fast forward, some fifty years later – my wife and I discovered some old cardboard boxes hidden behind junk in the back of our storage locker. It was a dry, cool place and the hundreds of underground comics that had only been read once, were in beautiful condition. It felt like we discovered a pot of gold. We wrote to dozens of book and comic stores with a list of our inventory. They said, there was no interest, no market and offered us little to nothing for the collection. We explained to them that these were complete sets, first editions. To the retail outlets they were worthless, but to us they were priceless. Now we offer them on E-Bay and the collectors are grabbing them up, at our more than fair and reasonable prices. Many we had universally certified with CGC, so you’ll know we’re trustworthy, reliable and have the best of service. Just check the feedback and reviews to know we’re honest and responsible. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and hope you buy them now while they still are available. First come, first serve. Thank you again for your time and interest.
