Underground Comics

This week I read a couple Underground comics. The first one I started to read was Air Pirate Funnies. I couldnt even get past the first story in this comic, it was just so hard to read and all over the place. I was really struggling to stay focused and by the time I finished the first story I had no idea what I had just read. I really did not enjoy this comic, the text and images were just so hard to understand that it really put me off.

After my failed attempt at reading Air Pirate Funnies I moved on to another underground comic, Four Sketchbooks and a Table of Useful Information. This wasn't much of a comic but more a collection of sketches from artists and at the end it does include a table of useful information, mainly conversions. I actually like this one quite a bit, I found many of the drawing interesting and I love looking through other artists sketchbooks. Sometimes there would be short comics in the sketchbooks but it was rare, mostly they consisted of drawings. Spain's part of the book was by far my favorite because his art style felt very contemporary. This comic, as a whole though I would still not consider very good, compared to the other comics I have read in this class, I just dont see the appeal in many of the underground comics but I guess that is why they are underground comics.
