The Fabulous Furry FREAK BROTHERS by Gilbert Shelton (2012)

I was fortunate enough to meet GILBERT SHELDON at the 2012 San Diego Comic Con at the "Last Gasp" Exhibit Booth, on Saturday 07/14/12 during his autograph signing session. He's one of the legends of underground comix.

He drew all 3 Freak Bros for me on a nice brown piece of art board...

The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers are a trio of underground comic strip characters created by the U.S. artist Gilbert Shelton.

The Freak Brothers first appeared in The Rag, an underground newspaper published in Austin, Texas, beginning in May 1968; and were regularly reprinted in underground papers around the United States and in other parts of the world.

Their first comic book appearance was in Feds 'n' Heads, published by Berkeley's Print Mint in 1968.

In 1969 Shelton and three friends from Texas founded Rip Off Press in San Francisco, which took over publication of all subsequent Freak Brothers comics.

The first compilation of their adventures, The Collected Adventures of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, had its first printing in 1971 and has been continually in print ever since.
