Real deal comix

Each story in Real Deal Comix details the everyday struggles of urban dwellers, driven by the rage and futility that their lives bring them.

Real Deal Magazine was a self-published independent comic book created in the 1990s by Lawrence Hubbard and inspired by magazines like MAD and traditional superhero comics but satirising the Blaxploitation movies of the '70s with a cast of convicts, murderers and hustlers.

It has gained a cult following in recent years, but has never been collected - until now.
