Last Gasp is a comics publisher and book distributor based in San Francisco, California. Founded in 1970 by Ron Turner to publish the ecologically-themed comics magazine Slow Death Funnies, followed by the all-female anthology It Ain't Me Babe, Last Gasp soon became a major part of the underground comics movement. Notable artists published by Last Gasp include Justin Green, Bill Griffith, Dori Seda, Robert Williams, and S. Clay Wilson. Though still publishing comics, Last Gasp today operates mainly as a distributor for books of all types, with a counterculture focus.
