Chinese Gory Comics
Wild and lethal trash ! There you will discover a lot of chinese (from Hong-Kong) comics covers from the 60s. This raw, savage (and anonymous) work will remind you GO NAGAI (DEVILMAN and VIOLENCE JACK), or even GARY PANTER under acid.

Pascal Doury
When I was in art school, I was a big fan of the work of Pascal Doury. I remember one of my teacher asking me: "Why do you like that shit? I don't get it." Well... I still like it -asshole- and more than ever. You can find a complete bio and tons of interesting art pieces here (in English.) Here are a few samples of his work. These were made with his friend Bruno Richard (I'll make another post about that guy later.) Pascal Doury died in 2001, I'll never forget him.

This wonder should be released this month. This is the first time that I actually regret that I don't live in Europe anymore...

You don't want to know why. Check it out.

Bazooka
In Paris, 1974, a group of young artists created the BAZOOKA art movement. They were smoking a lot of pot, taking LSD and decided to kick some media ass! They self-published some of the most disturbing news magazines ever. Two issues of one of their magazines was forbidden to people under 18, even though a few of the artists that worked on the issues in question were minors, themselves. In 1977, they were hired by the French newspaper called LIBERATION to design the newspaper and comment on the news. Since they had complete freedom, they used the newspaper to publish very violent and graphic pictures. They also constantly fought with other journalists. In 1978, they published their own magazine, UN REGARD MODERNE, which failed after six issues of publication. Here are some samples of their amazing work.
