This Gilbert Shelton issue is appearing in our auction for the FIRST TIME!! It was produced for Canned Heat, Conqueroo, and Shiva's Headband playing the Vulcan Gas Company in Austin, Texas, on May 10th, 1968. The posters that were created for the Vulcan Gas Company in the 1960s are some of the most desirable and valuable in the entire genre of Psychedelic Concert posters. These scarce, large-sized posters were printed in far less quantity than those for the major San Francisco dance halls, mostly in quantities of 500 or fewer.
Gilbert Shelton was the art director for the Vulcan along with Jim Franklin of Armadillo World Headquarters fame. Shelton went on to become one of the most well-known underground Comix artists of all time. He was one of the founders of Rip Off Press and was best known for his hilarious and popular "Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers" comix.
Condition Details: Creases, thumb print in printing, edge wear.
