REVIEW SCORE 7
Even
in the mid-'70s, not many comics or magazines had the balls to put
a spread-eagle blonde beauty on
the cover. California Comics #3 would have earned a Top Twenty Underground Cover award
if I hadn't already given Ed Watson two awards for the two previous issues in this series.
Alas, this is also the final issue of California Comics. But it ends in grand style
with another installment of Lovetree and section two of "Comixography,"
section D-Fa. It's a shame this series did not continue long
enough for "Comixography" to be completed, as it pre-dated
almost all other underground checklists. It's also a shame because I would've
enjoyed many more episodes of "Lovetree."
