"Adults Only" Born in Spain, Victor Moscoso was the first of the counterculture rock poster artists with formal academic training and experience. After studying art at Cooper Union in New York City and at Yale University, he moved to San Francisco in 1959. There, he attended the San Francisco Art Institute, where he eventually became an instructor. His posters for San Francisco's Family Dog dance-concerts at the Avalon Ballroom and his Neon Rose posters for the Matrix were to bring his work international attention in the Height-Ashbery "Summer of Love," in 1967. He became one of the featured artists of the San Francisco-based Underground Comix. Originally drawn as a storyboard for an animation that was not produced. SUMMARY: Human and humanoid characters engaged in science-fiction violence and sex. The Adler Archive of Underground Comix, Gift of Bill Adler.
