Gilbert Shelton attended the University of Texas at Austin off-and-on for nearly a decade, primarily as a means of avoiding the Vietnam draft. He found his people at the Texas Ranger, a notorious campus humor magazine that nurtured several other seminal underground comic artists. Austin at the time was a center of radical politics and what was know...
In 1968, just a year after publishing his first-ever Freak Brothers comic strip, Gilbert Shelton fled what Texas Monthlydescribed as a “police crackdown” on hippies in Austin, eventually settling like so many seekers of the day in San Francisco. Just as the newly opened Fillmore West ballroom served as the worldwide epicenter of psychedelic rock mu...
Gilbert Shelton similarly published under the Zap umbrella before co-founding Rip Off Pressin 1969 with three fellow exiled Austin comix heads. This was back when “press” was not a term of art.

By the time Courtney Solomon went looking for...
Solomon has been producing and directing films since 2000, when he brought Dungeons and Dragons—another bit of beloved but forgotten IP—to the big screen. Solomon, the producer who originated the idea of a Freak Brothers revival, traces his affection for the Brothers to a teenage trip to Amsterdam, where he found a copy in a head shop, brought it w...
Ultimately, Solomon convinced him to give Hollywood one last try with a pitch as funny, dumb, clever, obvious, and inventive as anything found in the original comic: The Freak Brothers of the 1970s smoke some shit so good they pass out for 50 years and wake up in modern-day San Francisco. While not a writer on the new animated series, Shelton has g...
