Armageddon (underground comic)

Armageddon was a title frequently used for underground comix during the 1960s and 70s, often referencing apocalyptic or dystopian themes. Unlike a single, defined comic, "Armageddon" served as a broad thematic descriptor, applied to various independent publications created by different artists and publishers. These works often featured counter-cultural themes, anti-establishment sentiments, psychedelic imagery, and graphic depictions of violence, sex, and drug use. Because of their independent nature and the lack of centralized documentation, a definitive list of all comics bearing this title is difficult to compile. Many were self-published and had limited print runs, leading to significant rarity in the modern collector's market. The term "Armageddon" in this context reflected the sense of societal upheaval and impending doom that permeated the counter-culture movement. Specific titles and creators are often lost to history, making research into this area challenging. Further investigation is needed to uncover a complete history of the various "Armageddon" underground comix.
