Rip Off Press
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rip Off Press, Inc. is a seminal publishing company for underground comix. It was founded January 17, 1969 in San Francisco by Fred Todd, Dave Moriaty, and cartoonists Gilbert Shelton and Jack Jackson, alias Jaxon. (Rip Off Press later relocated to Auburn, California in the 1980s.)
[edit] Overview
The initial plan was to print rock posters on an old press and do comix on the side, but by 1972 the printing business had faded away and the company had become a publishing house.
Rip Off Press is notable for being the original company to publish the fourth edition of the Principia Discordia.
