Flamed Out: The Underground Adventures and Comix Genius of Willy Murphy

An intimate (and sometimes goofy) portrait of cartoonist Willy Murphy’s life, loves, and struggles — and a revealing glimpse into the underground comix scene in San Francisco in the early and mid-1970s. One day, Willy Murphy, a rising young star at a prestigious Madison Avenue advertising agency, whipped off his tie, cast away his suit, and said goodbye to a high-pressure, high-profile, high-paying career. All just to draw — not comics — but comix.
