Young Lust #1, Bill Griffith and Jay Kinney, 1970

A pitch-perfect forgery of a 1950s romance comic, published by Company & Sons in October 1970 and credited to Bill Griffith and Jay Kinney. The square-jawed boyfriend, the tear on the cheek and the "Sexploitation Comics Group" corner box all look right until you read the thought balloon, which is far too frank for any romance book of the period. It is the template for a whole strand of underground parody that dressed adult material in the look of old mainstream genres. Young Lust ran for years afterward, mostly from Last Gasp, and Griffith later created Zippy the Pinhead. Expect sexual content inside.
