Founded in 1970 by Ron Turner to publish the ecologically-themed comics magazine Slow Death Funnies, followed by the all-female anthology It Ain't Me Babe, Last Gasp soon became a major part of the underground comics movement. Notable artists and authors published by Last Gasp include Justin Green, Bill Griffith, Dori Seda, Robert Williams, Robert Crumb, JT LeRoy, Ron English, Tim Biskup, Todd Schorr, Keiji Nakazawa, Diane di Prima, Douglas Nason, Camille Rose Garcia, Thomas Kinkade, Winston Smith, Josh Agle a.k.a. Shag, Joe Coleman, and S. Clay Wilson. Though still publishing comics, Last Gasp today operates mainly as a publisher of underground art books and literature, as well as a distributor for books, comics, toys of all types, with an art, design, and counterculture focus.
