Real Deal Comix: The OG of Raw, Gritty, and Unapologetic Comic Culture

Since 1990, Real Deal Comix has been slinging ink with no filter and all flavor. Home to underground legends like GC, Planet Dregs, and R-Team, Real Deal isn’t just a publisher—it’s a movement. Born from the streets and raised on raw satire, Real Deal delivers adult humor with teeth: violent, hilarious, and defiantly unpolished.

Often imitated, never duplicated, Real Deal is the original gangster of independent comic publishing. Its signature style—bold lines, brutal laughs, and streetwise storytelling—has been embraced by the global Hip Hop art scene, with pieces featured in galleries and museums from London to Tokyo.

Whether it’s GC’s motel madness, the cosmic chaos of Planet Dregs, or the explosive antics of R-Team, Real Deal Comix is where pulp meets punk, and satire meets survival.

Collector’s Note: Issues #1–7 are currently out of print, but every gritty panel lives on in the Real Deal hardcover edition—a must-have for fans, rebels, and connoisseurs of the underground.
