Yes the underground works but uncensored.With all the respect i don’t think a main stream company would have the courage(sic!) to print those masterpieces uncensored,but then again you never know……

A few years ago, Kim Thompson at Fantagraphics approached Corben about reprinting his underground comics, but Corben politely declined. Although he said at the time that he had other plans for that material, Corben didn’t divulge what those plans were. (In the meantime, Corben’s been selling art from his underground and other comics at a steady pace; one hopes that he has created high-quality scans of everything that has gone out the door, and that he also has back-ups of those files.) Fantagraphics would have published the work uncensored, for sure. But Corben appears to have a good relationship with the people at Dark Horse. Which is why I think Dark Horse is the obvious candidate to reprint the underground comics, a Den omnibus, new editions of Bloodstar, Mutant World, New Tales of the Arabian Nights, etc., etc. But I agree with you: if Dark Horse or whoever is not going to reprint the comics uncensored, Corben should let someone else do the job.

BTW, if Taschen can print Guido Crepax’s comics (and plenty of other explict books for adults) without censorship, and Fantagraphics can print The Complete Crumb Comics, and both companies can sell the books through Amazon, Chapters/Indigo, etc., without incident, why on earth couldn’t Dark Horse reprint Corben’s underground comics — which are actually fairly tame compared either to Crepax’s or to Crumb’s work — uncensored?
Come on, Dark Horse! Man up! 😉
