Quack #2

Quack was a satirical comic book series published by StarReach in the mid-1970s, curated by Mike Friedrich. Emerging from the independent comics movement that sought to move beyond the traditional superhero tropes of the era, the series provided a platform for experimental storytelling and social commentary. Issue number two continued the anthology-style format that allowed for a variety of artistic styles and voices to appear under a single banner, often challenging mainstream sensibilities of the time.

The design and illustration of Quack relied on a diverse roster of underground and alternative artists who were eager to push the boundaries of the medium. The aesthetic was characteristically raw, favoring expressive line work and biting humor that reflected the counter-culture zeitgeist of the seventies. While the series did not reach mass-market status, it garnered a dedicated following among comic enthusiasts who valued its independence from the rigid editorial standards of the larger publishing houses.
