Because Black Eye Was A Safer Pun

We looked at Super Soul American last week in our Road To Wakanda post. He was the lead feature of Super Soul Comix and a superhero, so he seemed the more appropriate choice. But there's greener Grass on the other side of the fence in the back of that book. (Yes, that's a terribly weak way to work creator Richard "Grass" Green into the conversation. Maybe it'll get edited out and you won't have to suffer it) As you may or may not have noticed in the previous post, Super Soul American shared the cover of the book:


The guy on the left is the Black Eye - Eric Private. Green seems a bit more relaxed and having more fun with the character in this tale, or perhaps it's just that he made me have more fun while reading it...



NOTE: On this page our hero learns that Kathy is actually
NOT jail-bait, being 23 years old, and this page
has been moved to our back room for adult content.
Please follow this link to The Other Voice Of ODD! archive
of the original post to view the artwork.  



This leaves me even more curious to find what other works from Green are hiding out there waiting to be discovered...

    I love Grass Green's artwork and I wish I'd been more aware of his underground and Indy stuff while it was happening. The world NEEDS a Grass Green collection.

    Like you, i didn't find him until later, much to my regret. So much of his work is quite hard to find today.
    I agree, and will be collecting a lot of his work here, but there's a great deal i don't have.
    TwoMorrows did do a collection of his Xal-Cor, The Human Cat comics a little over 15 years back, but i don't have that, sadly.
    Hopefully, i'll have a few things from Grass Green that are new to you. (Possibly even tomorrow's post)
