Description

Rick Griffin "Murphy" Poster (John Severson Productions, 1969). Rick Griffin's early art chores included providing cartoons for Surfer magazine, including a little tow-headed character named Murph the Surf. Murph continued to show up from time to time throughout the 1960s, in Rick's comic book work (Zap Comix in particular), and appears here in a poster. The art also appeared in Rick's Tales From the Tube comic book, and it remains one of his most colorful and psychedelic efforts. The poster measures approximately 28" x 19", and is in NM condition. Ride the wild surf with this one, dudes! Cowabunga!
