Description:
San Francisco: Co. & Sons, 1971. Dan O'Neill's popular comic strip "Odd Bodkins" ran in the San Francisco Chronicle from 1964-1970; but he is also known for his work with the "Air Pirates" underground comix collective that was pursued legally by the Disney corporation for supposed copyright infringements.

The cover lists "Co. & Sons" as the publisher, and on the rear cover as "Northern California Power Failure," but probably Comcs and Comix in Berkeley. Clean tex consists of fifty pages of black and white drawings. Light edgewear, tiny chip to one corner, and a crease across the front cover; there is a previous-owner name on the first page. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Edition.. Soft Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
