Description

Raw v. 1 n. 7

RAW was a series of comics anthologies edited by Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly that was published from 1980 to 1991. It was an important publication of the 1980s alternative comics movement. As well, RAW was one of the few, regular North American venues for European comics.

Edition note:

The upper right hand corner of each copy of Raw 7 (“The Torn-Again Graphix Magazine”) was torn off by hand; an irregularly sized corner from a different copy was then taped onto each copy’s table of contents.
