Robert Crumb contributes an exemplary Top Twenty Underground Cover to issue #3. Kim Deitch gets things rocking with "Scared Goose Thrills," and a few pages later Jim Osborne gives us a center spread that stands with the best of S. Clay Wilson's. After several solid one and two-pagers, Wilson shows up to provide a marvelously bizarre four-pager to close the book.
