Nasty Tales

[Reverend]

Huxley's book is a good read, but his index of titles, borrowed in large part from Burns, is a bit sloppy and far from complete, then again, there was a lot of material that Burns missed, too. Alas, you'll just have to wait for my book for that.

This book might be helpful for that book, Rev.

Interesting! I hadn't seen that one. A bit pricey. I wish I could browse it first.

Does this book list all of the British udergrounds (or at least o 1982) and the artist's that they contain? Can't ,ake a want ist until I know what exists. I have been sorting strough my foreign ugs the last week, trying to figure out what I got. I have about 160+ bBritish ones, but have no idea wha that means, I also have no idea of values. Any price guides?

I'm sure you've come into contact with a copy of Mal Burns' Comix Index. That's a nice start and is complimented by David Huxley's Nasty Tales, which basically copies Burns' index and goes a few years beyond. Be warned, though, that Burns made mistakes and omitted a good deal of material, as well. Lastly, there's also Dez Skinn's Comix: The Underground Revolution, of which I'm sure you're aware. The book itself is a great read (Cheers, Dez!), though its British index is sloppy and not nearly complete, omitting the painfully obscure titles, some of which are found in Burns' and Huxley. It does, however, list some of the newer books on the scene, such as Electric Soup, MacBam Brothers, Meng and Ecker, Shit the Dog, etc.

No price guide. Fogel's supplement is going to be listing British comix, though my wager is that the list will be very far from what might be considered complete. I was helping him with it some time ago, but he stopped replying to my e-mails, so I stopped sending information. It's a shame, because there are at least 150, or more, obscure books that weren't on my initial list.

Send me a list of what you have and I can give you a fairly accurate assessment of what they're worth. If you have doubles that you're willing to sell or trade, even better. I have no qualms about overpaying for the titles that I'm still in search of and I have piles of British trade bait.

I wonder if this is the archive he alludes to on the ComicSpace page?

Here's another book that seems to have essays about some UG artists that might be of interest to Rev.

As a matter of fact, I have that, but thanks for the tip. It was included with a sampling of random items from Head Press that I won on eBay awhile back. I was trying to get a copy of the numbered Killer Komix and that came along for the ride.
