Top Drawer Rubber Stamp Catalogue, Book 2: Comix (1979)--Early RAW Books Production by Art Spiegelman and Francoise Mouly
A lively mail-order catalogue of artist-designed rubber stamps, doubling as a compact underground comix anthology. Designed and produced by F. Mouly and A. Spiegelman in the early Raw Books period, preceding RAW magazine. Contributions include Robert Crumb, Art Spiegelman, Jay Lynch, Kim Deitch, Bill Griffith, Trina Robbins, and others. Interior features illustrated stamp offerings with captions, ordering information, and comic-style editorial content (“Stampoholics Run Amok”). 12mo (4.25” x 5.75” ), pictorial stapled wrappers, unpaginated (approximately 24 pages), b/w illustrations, red/orange pictorial endpapers. An early and increasingly scarce Raw Books production at the intersection of underground comix, design, and DIY print culture.A small vintage price sticker (“West Side Comics 50¢”) to front cover, an appealing and entirely appropriate trace of its original point of sale. Light bumping and chipping to extremities, with some soiling to wrappers.
