Zap Comix was an underground comix series which was originally part of the youth counterculture of the late 1960s. While a few small-circulation self-published satirical comic books had been printed prior to this, Zap became the model for the "comix" movement that snowballed after its release. The title itself published 17 issues over a period of 46 years. Color illustrations on covers, b&w interiors. #0 issue inscribed to Bill Adler and signed by R. Crumb, 1985.
