Fogel's Underground Price & Grading Guide 2015-16
Posted on 5/27/2015
The 2015–16 Fogel's Underground Price & Grading Guide Volume One includes over 9,600 listings (almost twice as many as the 2006 Guide). This rewritten edition has updated prices and detailed printing identification for the classic, latest, and newly discovered underground comix and adult comic books, graphic novels, alternatives, independents, small press and popular titles not covered by Overstreet’s Comic Book Price Guide. Articles include a grading guide, Zap Comix retrospective, art and photo galleries, biographies and a market analysis.
Written by Dan Fogel with articles by M. Steven Fox, Dr. Arnold T. Blumberg, Robert Beerbohm and others, in consultation with leading scholars and dealers, it features new art by Frank Stack, S.S. Crompton and Randy Vogel, as well as reprinting nearly a thousand book covers.
“The new guide is REALLY impressive. Really worth the wait!” commented comics historian / retailer Bud Plant, and his seminal Bud's Art Books Catalog review highlights, “A cool full color section features the top UG artists surrounded by their typical comix titles, including Crumb, Shelton, Moscoso, Spain
FUGG Volume Two will document the psychedelic rock posters, Tijuana bibles, counterculture tabloid newspapers and fanzines, as well as updated international and Minicomix publishing info and prices.
The $39.95 softcover edition features 336 pages including two color sections; the $74.95 hardcover limited edition of 100 includes a book plate signed by Dan Fogel and Frank Stack. The FUGG is published by Hippy Comix and sponsored by the Bill Graham Archives at Wolfgang’s Vault.
Copies may be purchased from the publisher’s website hippycomix.com or ordered from your local comic book store.
