Knockabout Comics is a UK publisher and distributor of underground and alternative comic books.

History

Knockabout grew out of Hassle Free Press, the UK publisher of Gilbert Shelton's Freak Brothers and Fat Freddy's Cat titles as well as British work from creators such as Hunt Emerson and Bryan Talbot and importer and distributor of underground comics. They have published works by Robert Crumb, My Troubles With Women, R. Crumb Draws the Blues, R. Crumb's America. In the 1980s 14 issues of the eponymous Knockabout anthologies were produced.

Knockabout has frequently suffered from prosecutions from UK customs, who have seized work by creators such as Robert Crumb and Melinda Gebbie claiming it to be obscene.[1][2]

They currently have a diverse catalogue of titles and, with Top Shelf, have published volume three of Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
