Underground Comics

What's striking to me about the underground comics I've read through is how the writers would go after any issue or subject matter they chose in such an odd low-brow slapstick fashion.  In he facetious nature of the writing and wildness in direction of where the stories went to is fascinatingly dark.  It tells a lot more about the writers' and their time period, more or less the underground period was the rebellion era of comics where the boundaries of what can be legally written about were pushed to its limits.  Honestly there's not much that's appealing to me about this era, reading through Robert Crumb was interesting but increasingly weird the more I learned about him and his fetishes.  To me underground comics like Action Comics were significant in that they've helped pave the way for modern comics now, but the comics themselves were not really worth much on their own.  I feel like going through these is a look at the inner working minds of the counter culture back then and it's cool being able to look at that era in this way, but I'd rather not read pages and pages of comic sex.
