Underground Comics Movement the book, Rebel Visions: The Underground Comix Revolution (5 points)

 I was a bit surprised to read such fun and inviting into telling teen kids that they can read this like an adult, and then the first comic was an allegory for world war II with cats and mice. I did not even see any jokes within the comic, which I am grateful for with this subject matter; however, it was just a little sadder of a star than I thought it would be.  I feel like some adult cartoon comedy shows are today where they say many curse words and profanity, and they call it jokes. They want to see the worst they can get away with it. The comic industry was very tight with its code of conduct, and many comics are for kids. I make sense that many underground comic artists were those exposed o the effects of the war of Vietnam, Martin Luther King Jr, riots, and many other extreme events in the 1960-70s. With being exposed to all of those things and not having much of an outlet, they used comics as personal expression. The comics code authority controlled what too violent and crud was. Those who opposed this felt it was not allowing for imaginative stories to show through comics. And with this pent-up energy, this book mainly talks about the artist that rebled against the normal clean comic. It was very cool. Learning about these artists' lives and seeing how they transferred their art into these underground comics.
