Fat Freddy's Cat began life as a footnote strip to the Freak Brothers and later appeared in many comics of his own. He is often to be found sleeping on the unfortunate Fat Freddy's head. His constant battles with the never-ending army of roaches out for world domination drive him to distraction, as does Fat Freddy's never-ending failure to feed him or empty his kitty litter box. This cat has variously gone travelling to Mexico, saved the world from alien invasion and worked as a government agent in Washington trying to save the world from the hee hee hee' drug.'

In this early epic of the hilarious and politically correct Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, Freewheelin' Franklin, Phineas, and Fat Freddy skip out on their rent and decide to cool it down Mexico way where they are chased off the beach, encounter a Mexican mystic, lose all their money, get thrown into jail, escape into an ancient underground labyrinth, and wind up on a secret poppy farm run by the U.S. military -- you know, a typical tourist itinerary. (Oh, did we say "politically correct"? Just kidding ) Plus: Fat Freddy's Cat stars in solo adventures, including the mini-epic, "I Led Nine Lives." The 7th Voyage and Other Follies is the fourth release in this special series of seven graphic albums.

In this collection of hilarious and politically correct short comics, Freewheelin' Franklin, Phineas, and Fat Freddy form a band; bring home a stray container of plutonium; try to make it through a whole day without getting stoned; and help Phineas through his pregnancy, in "Phineas Gets an Abortion." (About which, say no more). (Oh, did we say: "politically correct?" Just kidding ) In the titular title story, the Freak Brothers venture outside on a mission to score a little weed. It is their first encounter with the wonders of the 21st century. ("Still illegal?") Plus: Fat Freddy's Cat stars in two solo adventures, including a visit to "Cat Heaven." Fat Freddy himself stars in a bonanza of satirical sketches skewering such targets as Star Wars, G.I. Joe, and Superman.

The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers are the most iconic and enduring underground comix characters ever created, having sold over 45 million comics in 16 languages. Fantagraphics is proud to announce that it is collecting all their drug-addled adventures in a new series of four volumes. Created in 1968 by Gilbert Shelton, widely recognized as one of the funniest cartoonists who ever lived, the Freak Brothers' rollicking and hilariously self-destructive escapades are comedic masterpieces of farce and satire. Our first volume leads off with "The Idiots Abroad," a relentless novel-length tour de force of slapstick, screwball humor, showing off Shelton's gift for weaving together an intricate plot with droll dialogue and pitch-perfect visual timing. The Brothers -- Freewheelin' Franklin, Phineas, and Fat Freddy -- embark on a trip to Colombia to score some cheap dope (their guiding principle) but, as always, things go awry, and they are separated and scattered around the world -- to Scotland, Moscow, Africa, South America, and the Middle East -- where they encounter nuclear terrorists, slavers, pirates, and religious fanatics, yet somehow never seem to make it to Bogot . The Comics Journal named "The Idiots Abroad" as one of the "100 Greatest Comics of the Century" and The Guardian, citing its "graphic quality" called it "astonishing" and said it "recall s] Herg in ... accuracy and detail." Rounding out our first volume is another 70 pages of Freak Brothers short stories.The Freak Brothers, an animated series, set in modern San Francisco, is scheduled for release in 2021. The show stars the voices of Woody Harrelson, Pete Davidson, John Goodman, and Tiffany Haddish.

Gilbert Shelton is the creator of the multi-million selling Freak Brothers and Fat Freddy's Cat. Wonder Wart-Hog was his earliest creation and probably still his favourite.

A splendid satire on fundamental religion and Western imperialism, starring a Cadillac, paper bags and the world's least successful rock band. It's every band's dream: an international concert tour! A chance to spearhead freedom, democracy and the American way of life among the benighted peoples of the world, through the medium of massively amplified Rock 'n' Roll music! How was Not Quite Dead able to get such an opportunity? You might say it was pure luck, although not necessarily of the good sort...
