The cover art of 70s gonzo comix often hearkened back to the medium’s pulp and scifi roots, albeit with a distinctly adult and tripped-out twist. Here’s a slew of comic covers from artists such as Robert Crumb and Warren Greenwood.

You can find much more comic art at Mickey The Pixel’s Flickr. [via Sci Fi Wire]
