Underground Comix represent the counter culture to the influential pop culture phenonium of comics. The artwork and printing were hardly consistent, the original guide was 35 years ago (though now reprinted), publishing information remains sketchy, some of the bibliographical questions have still not been settled, in 2 or 3 cases the first few printings are indistinguishable because even when the differences are clear, priority is not always so, relative importance and rarity have just begun to be debated. In the case of these two comix, they are the first entirely by women, though there are underground comix preceding these that used women writers and artists (including some of those that worked on the three here).
