Here we are offering an early Vulcan Gas Company poster from the pen of Gilbert Shelton. 

Shelton was the art director for the Vulcan along with Jim Franklin of Armadillo World Headquarters fame. Shelton went on to become one of 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.

This poster entitled “The Matrix” is a vibrating fluorescent and stunning piece of psychedelic art. It needs to be viewed under UV light to be truly appreciated. We have never before offered this poster for public sale.
