Outrageous cartoons were the highlights of each issue -- some of the most incendiary ever to appear in an American periodical --- likened to Charlie Hebdo by Time magazine.
The Realist Cartoons, a 296-page volume from Fantagraphics Books, collects almost all of the magazine's cartoons that appeared on its pages during its historic run.
Presented in chronological sequence, dated and annotated, the cartoons form a unique, provocative. hilarious history of the country's burning social/political issues from 1958 to 2001.
