Knockabout Comics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Knockabout Comics is a UK publisher and distributer of underground and alternative comic books. It was formed by Tony Bennett and Carol Bennett in the 1980s to distribute Gilbert Shelton's Freak Brothers titles as well as British work from creators such as Hunt Emerson and Bryan Talbot. Knockabout has frequently suffered from prosecutions from UK customs, who have seized work by creators such as Robert Crumb claiming it to be obscene.

They currently have a diverse catalogue of titles and will be publishing the next volume of Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in 2006.
