From their origins in the 1960s, into the 1970s with titles like Cozmic Comics, Blood Sex Terror, Hot Nads, Knockabout, Near Myths, Brainstorm, Dope Fiend Funnies, Rock'n'Roll Madness and Sin City, through to the emergence of Viz in the 1980s, Nasty Tales covers the turbulent history of underground comics in Britain, and the cultural instability from which they emerged.
