Title: Ug-C Checklists thread.
Post by: 50Cent #II (1st print) on February 27, 2008, 01:24:32 AM
Thought I would start a thread listing the checklists available.

Of course we have 3 price guides, the Kennedy (HC & SC), Weist (HC? & SC) and Fogel (2 covers) and the Illustrated Checklist to Underground Comix and it's predecessor Shelby Kirch's Underground Checklist (would love to see a pic. of this one if anyone has one), and Geerdes' The Collectors Guide to Underground Comix (need to get me a copy of this) as well as Prelude to a Price Guide: Underground Comix and MiniComix by Bruce Chrislip.  Dez Skinn's book Comix  The Underground Revolution (HC & SC) has a short checklist in the back of book as well as Patrick Rosenkranz Artsy Fartsy Funnies.  Also found in the back of California Comics #2 and 3 is an index.  And for U.K. Comix we had Mal Burns Comix Index and there is also a U.K. checklist in the back of Huxley's book Nasty Tales.

For individual artists we have:

R. Crumb
1. R. Crumb Checklist (HC & SC)
2. The R. Crumb Checklist 2 in CounterMedia #Winter, 1991-1992 (in CounterMedia #4 (Fall, 1990) in the Letters section there is mention of a R. Crumb Checklist in the Spring 1990 issue and lists a few updates to it by Ted Meeker of San Diego, CA.  But since I believe it's been revealed that CounterMedia started with issue #4? This could be part of a ruse.)  R. Crumb checklist continues in CounterMedia (Spring, 1992), cont. in CounterMedia #7 (Winter, 1992/1993).
3. Crumb-Ology
4. Crumb-Ology Supplement

Art Speigelman
1. CounterMedia #4 (Fall, 1990), #5 (Summer, 1991), cont. in (Spring, 1992), cont. in #7 (Winter, 1992/1993)

Richard Corben
1. (Complete Corben website)

Jaxon
1. http://www.tcj.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=409&Itemid=48

Rick Griffin

(Posters) 2. CounterMedia (Spring, 1992)
(Magazines) 3. CounterMedia #7 (Winter, 1992/1993)

Greg Irons

Justin Green
1. CounterMedia #7 (Winter, 1992/1993)

Ack! No, Dez Skinn's Comix, not Mal Burns' Comix Index. That's just an A4-size magazine.

Anyone heard of "Underground Comic Books" by Clay Geerdes?  There's a reference to this in Don Fiene's R. Crumb Checklist.

On the mini side of things:

The Collectors Guide to Newave Comix (pub. by Clay Geerdes, 1981) - a checklist if sorts with full-page ads created by each artist and, as I recall, complete lists of what they had in print at the time

Comix Wave Index 1983-1993 by Gary Usher (pub. by Steve Willis, 1994)

Clark Dissmeyer Bibliography 1980-1993 by Gary Usher and Marc Myers (pub. by Steve Willis, 1994)

Cascade Comix Monthly Index 1978-1981 by Gary Usher (pub. by Steve Willis, 1994)

The Brad W. Foster Checklist: Works in Print 1972-1994 by Gary Usher (pub. by Steve Willis, 1995)

The Brad W. Foster Checklist of Published Works From the 20th Century by Steven Ogden (pub. ????). I believe this is the online version: http://jabberwockygraphix.com/inprint.html

And, of course, I'm trying to keep adding mini-related reference to my own site.

Not a UG artist, but if you're a fan of Dave Stevens like I am then here's a checklist site for his work.

While the Corben studio is great, it is not the check list site. This is the connection

I seem to remember someone mentioning in the CPG forums a list or guide put out by someone of mini comix or underground comix that was very limited 10 copies or 100 copies? that was sold on eBay a year or so ago.  Anyone recall what it was called or by who?

Maybe the Collectors Guide to Newave Comix? If so, that was published by Clay Geerdes.

No, that ain't it, but I think it's this one that's also on your site.

Do you have a copy of this?  If so, is it possible to give me some info. on it.  (how many pages, how many items listed, date it came out, etc.?).

Thanks for the info.
And thanks for locating a copy for me to purchase.

So, does anyone by chance have a copy of Shelby Kirch's Underground Checklist that they can scan an post?

This is an interesting item that I haven't seen before: Underground Comix Catalogue: CISO Supplement #4 (http://www.crbd.eu/Bk-SMETA001.html), published by Jan Smet and Olaf Stoop (Real Free Press) in 1973. I'd be curious to see what was listed in that and any other volumes. I'm guessing it was a sampling of material from all over the world, considering the types of items that RFP used to sell.

A cursory search for "CISO" didn't yield many results beyond this:

Interesting.
Found this reference also:

So, it looks like only Supplement #4 had anything to do with UGs. Then again, I'm not sure if by #4 they mean the fourth supplement or a supplement to the fourth issue of Ciso.
