A first printing of volume one of The Complete Checkered Demon comics by S. Clay Wilson, published by Last Gasp Comix in 1998.

With an introduction by William S. Burroughs, and blurbs by Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael McClure, and Carlo McCormick, this volume collects appearances of S. Clay Wilson's "The Checkered Demon," a character that first appeared in his underground comic strip Zap!, within Grist magazine. This first volume traces the evolution of the character alongside Wilson's life. Published by Last Gasp, an important small press in the Bay Area that focused on comics as well as some intersections with the poetry community. 245 pages. Size: 6" x 9" (150mm x 230mm).
