Spain Rodriguez is one of the best-known artists in underground comix. After first gaining attention covering the 1968 Democratic Convention for The East Village Other, he was recruited by Robert Crumb to draw comix for Zap. There, his off-beat political stance and history in the Road Vultures Motorcycle Club proved rich material for showcasing his crisp, bold line drawing style, which is best demonstrated in his seminal tabloid Zodiac Mindwarp and his Trashman series. A former "intimate" friend of Janis Joplin and collaborator of Frank Zappa and Charles Bukowski, Spainâs work has appeared everywhere from Penthouse to Salon.
Spain is the author of CHE: A Graphic Biography from Verso Books.
