NAUGHTY BITS #1 FACSIMILE EDITION

Roberta Gregory launched Naughty Bits in 1991. It became the longest-running solo alternative comic book series by a female cartoonist, coming to an end in 2004 after an influential and pioneering 14-year, 40-issue run. The series largely focused on her signature character Bitchy Bitch (aka Midge), whose stories remain the pinnacle of a historic career, and a highwater mark in comics and graphic novels over the past 40 years, and this summer sees the release of Bitchy! The Exasperating Existence of Midge McCracken, a 500-page compilation of Gregory's "Bitchy Bitch" stories, presenting a life from childhood into middle age, following the character through multiple decades.To celebrate its release, as well as the 50th anniversary of Fantagraphics, we are proud to release this "facsimile edition" of where it all began!
