*“Comix” was an informal term, adopted by publishers, artists, and fans to signify the difference between the usual mainstream comics of the day and the alternative publications springing up across the United States in the late sixties and early seventies. In Comics in Wisconsin comics creator and historian Paul Buhle wrote: “The x factor that changed comics to comix was first seen in San Francisco, in the poster shops where Day-Glo images and photos of very angry-looking Black Panthers pioneered a poster print business with advertising big enough to keep Ramparts magazine, then master of muckraking journalism, going for years. Young Robert Crumb was the foremost artist, by a long shot, but along with him came a dozen highly talented, definitely leftwing comics veterans, the oldest of them still not thirty, a pack of them (including Art Spiegelman) from New York. There were a handful of comix in traditional comic book form, but they had twenty-four to forty-eight pages, black-and-white insides, and a pricetag of fifty cents or a dollar.”
