A motorcycle outlaw and one of the original seven cartoonists behind
Zap Comix, this is the first volume in a series celebrating the
influential force in the underground movement. Spain's Trashman stories
form the backbone of this volume, along with his firsthand accounts of
riding with the Road Vultures Motorcycle Club (a gang once considered so
dangerous that the police chief of Buffalo, New York, declared war on
them) and his 1969 East Village Other series about cop corruption,
Manning. This first volume is rounded with an informative, inside
account of Spain's life and loves in the emerging counterculture of New
York's Lower East Side.
