Gilbert Shelton (born May 31, 1940) is an American cartoonist and a key member of the underground comix movement. He is the creator of the iconic underground characters The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, Fat Freddy's Cat, and Wonder Wart-Hog.

FUN FACT:  Shelton designed the cover art for the 1978 album Shakedown Street by the Grateful Dead.

Fat Freddy's Cat first appeared in 1969 in underground newspapers as a character in The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers strip. Shelton also created the spin-off strip, Fat Freddy's Cat, in 1969. The Adventures of Fat Freddy's Cat were reprinted and expanded (starting over from #1) in six comic book size issues in the 1980s. They included new longer stories about the Cat.

THIS COPY is one of the 1980 1^st pressing of Book 5 of “The Adventures of Fat Freddy’s CAT.

Overall, it shows only light signs of handling. [Please note that in the cover picture, the top part seems to be a bright blue in color, but it's really purple and more muted. That's just the way my camera took the picture.]

ENJOY!
