Robert Crumb, Gilbert Shelton, Denis Kitchen, Spain Rodriguez, D. Tosh - Original Art Page "Oh No! Comics" (Self-published, 1984). This "jam" page, featuring four of the top Underground artists, has its origins at a 1984 Dallas Fantasy Fair. Underground comix fan and small press publisher D. Tosh met and convinced these guest U.G. legends to contribute to this Zap-style jam. Tosh came up with a title, and drew the borders and the first bit of art before handing it off to Spain. Kitchen was next, then Crumb (who seized the opportunity to poke a little fun at convention attendees who, like Tosh, were aspiring cartoonists), and finally, Shelton. The piece has been published in two Small Press books with tiny print runs -- Nowhere to Flip But Out was a xeroxed magazine-sized book with only 20 or so copies published, and The Best of Dallas Fantasy Comics (a digest-sized compilation of convention sketches and minis), which had a print run of about 200. As such, this is a rare page indeed, seen by very few. It didn't make the Complete Crumb Comics, that's for sure. The art is drawn on an 8.5" x 11" sheet of heavy sketchbook paper, and is in excellent condition. And what ever happened to Tosh? He's currently writing descriptions for Heritage Comics catalogs! Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
