Head Comix also provides a representative sampling of Crumb\'s existing body of work, from the relative innocence of Fritz the Cat to the LSD-inspired \"Ultra Super Modernistic Comics.\" Though these comics from 1965-1968 represent what Crumb calls his \"innocent period,\" the concepts behind the signature characters of Mr. Natural, Schuman The Human, Flakey Floont, and Whiteman are well established. Overall, Head Comix is a terrific read of the early underground comics by Robert Crumb.
Crumb didn\'t like New York book publishers, calling them money-grubbers and schmucks on numerous occasions. He was very agitated when Viking Press censored some of the naughtier parts of his artwork in Head Comix. Crumb declared \"It was ridiculous. They were living in the Victorian era. It made me sick dealing with them.\" Subsequently, Ballantine Books produced the second and third printings of the book without censorship. In 1988, Simon & Schuster printed a revised edition under their Fireside imprint, with 32 additional pages of comics and a Robert Crumb introduction replacing Paul Krassner\'s.
