Hurricane Nancy

A retrospective of underground comix artist Nancy Burton, a significant and under-appreciated artist in the history of comics, as well as a first-person account of a fascinating moment in counter cultural America. Nancy Burton was among the earliest underground cartoonists, creating comic strips that appeared in The East Village Other (“Gentle’s Tripout”) and Gothic Blimp Works ("Busy Boxes”) in 1966. Under the pen names “Panzika” and “Nancy Kalish” and most importantly, “Hurricane Nancy,” she contributed to many notable underground comix including It Ain’t Me, Babe.
