This massive, oversize hardcover collects the complete run of the underground comix series, Tits & Clits. Conceived and edited by Joyce Farmer and Lyn Chevli – who together created the entirety of the first two issues – the series was originally published between 1972 and 1987 and served to push the boundaries of Feminism and the Women's Liberation Movement into the comics world. This collection also includes, in their entirety, Pandora's Box and Abortion Eve, two early stand alone undergrounds, also both written and drawn by Joyce Farmer and Lyn Chevli.
Given the title, it's no surprise that women's bodies and sexuality were the focus of Tits & Clits, and that no topic was off limits. Birth control, abortion, menstruation, masturbation, a wide sampling of consensual sexual encounters – real and fantasy – and plenty more are covered in these pages. While the tone here is largely satiric – think a Mad Magazine take on Our Bodies, Ourselves for the underground comix reader – there was still room for earnest thoughts and real feelings.
Readers can get up to speed with historical context and more by reading the introductory essay by the book’s editor, Samantha Meier. For anyone desireing a better idea of what to expect, Fantagraphics has provided a brief preview HERE.

PLEASE NOTE: Our PayPal buttons do not currently incorporate an inventory function and so are not capable of automatically registering that an item has sold out; this must be done manually. Thus, it is within the realm of possibility that this item may appear as still available when it has actually sold out. We will make every effort to mark this as sold as soon after the fact as possible, but should it sell in the middle of the night, then the item won't be marked sold until morning. That said, should someone "buy" this item after it is no longer available, that person will receive a full refund within 24 hours (along with an apology for our lack of technical proficiency).
