I beleive "One Fisted Tales" is an actual printed comic.
This is the site that's ripping them off:
http://www.recomics.com/
As well as Arcade, Bizzare Sex, Freak Bro, Zap, Snatch, Big Ass, Tits N Clits, Harold Hedd, and others.
Corben, Crumb, Shelton, Holmes, And lots more.
They brag "over 3000 comics"

One-Fisted Tales is a comic, I've got #1-5 (most 1st prints, but #5 has a $3.95 cover price so I think that's a 2nd or 3rd). I was surprised today to find out that there was more in the series as I've only seen #1-5, but today I saw there was 10 issues and then on another site found there was actually even an 11th issue.

It's disgusting how they brag about collecting all the comics and selling the images to the consumer, without a single word about compensating the artists or writers or anything about copyright. They even brag about how it took hundreds of artists years to create all that great stuff and now Recomics will give it all to you for a monthly fee of $29.95 (because they DO have to pay for web hosting and Recomics employees)! Not a word about even having any license or royalty agreements with the creators.

It's blatant copyright law violation and there should be a class action lawsuit filed by some of the creators against Recomics and Adult Empire.

Copyright violation is a federal crime as well. Hopefully, they will be subjected to a fine and imprisonment. That would give me faith in American justice...and prove to me that such laws aren't selectively enforced.

recomics.com is now gone.

I just got a letter from Phil Foglio. His lawyer, for one, sent a "cease & desist".
