Weirdo

Weirdo was a magazine size comics anthology created by Robert Crumb, first published in 1981. "Weirdo" served as an insistently "low art" counterpoint to the more highbrow alternative comics anthology of the time, Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly 's's RAW. Early issues of "Weirdo" reflect Crumb's interests at the time – a mix of outsider art, photo comics , Church of the SubGenius-type propaganda and assorted "weirdness". It also introduced many emerging artists such as Peter Bagge and Stickboy 's Dennis Worden.

Crumb later handed over the editing reins to Bagge, and later still to Crumb's wife, cartoonist Aline Kominsky-Crumb. The final issue, number 27, was published in 1992.
