The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers Vol.1: Times of No Money (The Early Years)

Back to the beginning! The occluded origins of underground comix's satirical stoner stars, restored and remastered!

Gilbert Shelton's fabled and fantastic Freak Brothers debuted in one alternative newspaper at the hazy dawn of the hippie era, and by its peak were the most well-known and widely reprinted characters to emerge from the counterculture. Still popular around the world, but out of print in book form in America for 35 years, this is the historic reopening volume in the first comprehensive collected series of their exploits ever attempted anywhere. 

Follow the Freaks from stoner slapstick origins to sitcom and satirical success! Alongside other early works and contemporary comics, cartoons, colour covers and collaborations by Shelton, with many strips recovered, repaired and reprinted for the first time in over fifty years. The comedy remains timeless!

Also included: the earliest appearance of the Freaks' feline flatmate Fat Freddy's Cat, and other fascinating or foolish ephemera from their original newspaper appearances.
