GRATEFUL DEAD COMIX No. 1 (1991) Jerry Garcia was a big comic book fan. When he made his "first real money" the very first thing he bought was a complete set of E.C. Comics. By 1991 he was ready for his band to have its own comic book series. So George Lucas' licensing arm (representing the band at that point for ancillary merchandise) contacted longtime underground comics publisher Kitchen Sink Press to create this unusual hippie merger of music and comics. Issue No. 1 is kicked off by a great Dean Armstrong cover along with visual interpretations of four classic Dead songs: "Dire Wolf" by Tim (Scout) Truman; "Terrapin Station" (Dan Steffan); "One More Saturday Night" (Fred Carlson) and "Casey Jones" (Nina Paley), with a pin-up by Jean Giraud also known by his trippy pen name Moebius.
