About this Item

LA LUZ DE JESUS 'ODIOUS IMAGES', THE CHECKERED DEMON. FRAMED. Shipping with Insurance To Be Determined. "If you're not good enough to be a Cartoonist, maybe you can be an Artist." ~ S. CLAY WILSON Steve Clay Wilson, 1941-2021, better known as S. Clay Wilson, is an American underground cartoonist and central figure in the underground comix movement. Wilson attracted attention from readers with aggressively violent and sexually explicit panoramas of lowlife denizens, often depicting the wild escapades of pirates and bikers. He was an early contributor to Zap Comix, and Wilson's artistic audacity has been cited by R. Crumb as a liberating source of inspiration for Crumb's own work. "He showed us we had been censoring ourselves," said Zap cohort Victor Moscoso. "He blew the doors off the church. Wilson is one of the major artists of our generation." ipi/Wiki Underground Cartoonist S. Clay Wilson passed away on February 7th, 2021 from complications related to previously inflicted injuries. Wilson might well be knocking back shots in Hell with the Checkered Demon and his cohorts, the monsters and zombies and miscreants who populated his stories: Crank Collingswood, Star-Eyed Stella, Lester Gass, the Corpse Gobblin Ogre, the Felching Vampires, the Hog Ridin Fools, that ugly horn toad who always had his tongue up his nose, all ready to raise another glass to their cartoonist creator, with a barstool of honor saved just for him. He's been dry for a decade or more, so he might hoist a few in the afterlife… ~ Patrick Rosenkranz, The Comics Journal. Seller Inventory # P37
