Dan Fogel
Hippy Comix publisher
Dan Fogel was born in San Francisco in 1965, and having spent his formative years throughout that fabled city’s Psychedelic Era, was destined to become recognized worldwide as his generation’s leading authority and historian of Counter-Culture, Underground, Alternative, and Adult comic books.
Fogel’s been a creative force in Comix since 1989, as writer, editor, and eventually publisher of the best-selling Adult/Underground Comix line of the 1980s and 1990s: Larry Welz’s Cherry Poptart and its successful spin-off titles. His credits for the publishers Last Gasp, Slave Labor, Kitchen Sink, Tundra, Yendie Boox, and Cherry Comics include multiple printings and foreign translations of: Cherry #’s 1-3, 5, 10, 12-15, 19, 20, Cherry’s Jubilee #’s 1-4, the Cherry Collection trade paperbacks Vols. 3-4, Cherry Mini #’s 1-2, One-Fisted Tales #3, Hot Works, and Cherry Deluxe #1 with Neil Gaiman and Marc Hempel.
Since 1998 he’s co-created and/or published through his companies Fogelcomix and Hippy Comix, Inc.: UG!3K, an Underground Comix history and anthology featuring work by R. Crumb, Gilbert Shelton, Vaughn Bode, and two dozen other top creators, Underground classics: The Snatch Comics Treasury S. Clay Wilson’s Pork and Spain’s Zodiac Mindwarp, the cutting-edge, controversial and satirical Kieron Dwyer’s Lowest Comic Denominator #’s 0-3 and Fink!, the hardcore XXX Adult Star Stories: Felecia #1, Demi the Demoness #6, and Demi’s Strange Bedfellows #2, and exclusive limited-edition prints by the legendary creator of Josie and the Pussycats and Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Dan DeCarlo.
Fogel wrote and published in 2006 Fogel’s Underground Comix Price Guide, the first new Underground comic book price guide in a quarter century. Fogel’s Guide and 2010’s Supplement are the industry standard and the indispensable resource for collectors, retailers, auctioneers, historians, investors, and fans.
Fogel’s 2012 projects include Dana and R. Crumb’s Eat It! Recipe Cards, and Fogel’s Underground Price Guide 2!
