With the imminent release of a new animated series, Gilbert Shelton's legendary underground comix heroes find a new crash pad at Fantagraphics.

The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers are the most iconic and enduring underground comix characters ever created, having sold over 45 million comics in 16 languages. Created in 1968 by Gilbert Shelton, widely recognized as one of the funniest cartoonists who ever lived, the Freak Brothers' rollicking and hilariously self-destructive escapades are comedic masterpieces of farce and satire.

Fantagraphics is proud to announce that it is collecting all their cannabis-fueled adventures in a new series, Freak Brothers Follies. Each deluxe hardcover will feature a special die-cut cover. The first volume leads off with "The Idiots Abroad," a brilliant, novel-length tour de force of slapstick and screwball adventure, showcasing Shelton's gift for weaving together an intricate plot with droll dialogue and pitch-perfect comedic timing.

Phineas, Freewheelin' Franklin, and Fat Freddy head out with high hopes for Colombia, but (as always!) their plans go awry in the most hilariously self-destructive way possible. Scattered around the world — to Scotland, Russia, Africa, South America, and the Middle East — they manage to antagonize, offend, and otherwise annoy various groups of nuclear terrorists, human traffickers, pirates, and religious fanatics. Meanwhile, Fat Freddy's Cat, abandoned at home, not only has his own fur-raising adventure, he even sells the story to Hollywood!

The Freak Brothers, an animated series, set in modern-day San Francisco, is scheduled for release in 2021. The show stars the voices of Woody Harrelson, Pete Davidson, John Goodman, and Tiffany Haddish.

The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers: The Idiots Abroad and Other Follies is part of the Zap Comix series.

Hardcover, 8-in.x 10-in., 146 pages, PC/PB&W.

1st printing. Story and art by Gilbert Shelton. Back to the beginning! See the original hippie days (and hippie daze) of the unrelated Brothers and watch as Shelton shifts from stoner slapstick to both sitcom and satire, building a broad approach that would let him comment comedically through these hapless mouthpieces for five decades. Also in this volume: the earliest appearances of the Freaks feline flat mate Fat Freddys Cat, and a selection of other contemporaneous cartooning by Shelton, showing the range of styles and voices that he would soon channel into the Freak Brothers as their stardom ensued. Times of No Money is the sixth release in this special series of seven graphic albums. (The series presents all the Freak Brothers adventures chronologically, but individual albums are being released in a different order.) The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comics have sold more than 45 million copies worldwide in 16 languages. These painstakingly restored hardcovers, featuring die-cut covers, are the first North American bookshelf editions in more than thirty years. Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 144 pages, full color.
