Comixjoint

While digging through the internet's endless archives looking for cool zines and underground comics (comix), I found a website called Comixjoint. It appears to be and older site, I suppose. Many of the links are broken. In fact, if you go into the A-Z list of comics and click on individual listings, you'll find that everything from Tits & Clits Comix forward is broken. Sadly, clicking on Tuff Shit Comics yields no results.

Anyway... the site is chock full of reviews and passable scans of comic covers. It's a nice collection of books on display and shows you the array of underground stuff available - though mostly leaning toward the prurient and NSFW side. Which... I mean... really is was underground comix movement, wasn't it? The whole point was counterculture. It was a reaction against the puritanical Approved by the Comics Code Authority bullshit that dominated the spinner racks. These guys were saying fuck that shit, I'm a gonna draw Mickey Mouse with a boner and you can't stop me.

I haven't read any of the reviews on this site and I have no idea if the creator is still around, still doing reviews. For damn sure, the site is not maintained. Clicking on the Forum link leads to an error, for example. It's something that was around and got abandoned. The internet is full of abandoned sites, I think. But typically the owner allows the domain name to fall back and so clicking on the address leads to "this domain is for sale" or something like that. In this case, the owner wanted to maintain the domain but not maintain the site.

Warning: Clicking on any sites dealing with underground comix will lead you to nudity, sex, violence, and rude art. If you're not into that shit, don't click.
