Skull Comics #1, Greg Irons, 1970

Skull was the underground's answer to the EC horror comics its artists had grown up on before the Comics Code killed them, and the cover says so with a round seal reading "An Exorpsychic Comic" in EC's old style. Rip Off Press published the first issue in March 1970. Greg Irons signed this one: a goggle-eyed skull peeling out of layered faces, framed by a column of hosts like the Wino Pervert and the Brighton Axe-Murderer. "Adults only, kids!" at the bottom is the right warning; the stories inside go well past the cover.
