Raw v. 1 n. 3. 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.

Includes Scott Gillis, Ever Meulen and Eddy Flippo, Gary Panter, Cathy Millet, Jose Muñoz & Carlos Sampayo, Françoise Mouly, Rod Kierkegaard, Mariscal, Art Spiegelman, Rick Geary, Meulen and Joost Swarte, Ben Katchor, David Marc and Scott Gillis, Patricia Caire, Charles Burns, Josef Schwind, Heinz Emigholz, Gerry Capelle.

Raw number three introduced Gary Panter with a cover and an interior Jimbo story. The cover image was adapted from a Panter comic called “Okupant X” after Mouly and Spiegelman considered and then rejected Panter’s original cover design (a version of which would later be used for the cover of Raw volume 2 number 1). The cover’s final coloring and design by Mouly and Spiegelman won a 1981 Print Magazine design certificate. The issue also included the second chapter of Maus and a long story by Muñoz and Sampayo, printed on grey paper stock.
