Big Apple Comix is an early independent comic book published by Flo Steinberg in 1975. A historically important link between underground comix and what would later be called alternative comics, this 36-page, 63⁄4” × 93⁄4” hybrid with glossy color covers and black-and-white interiors contains 11 sometimes sexually frank stories by such mainstream creators as Neal Adams, Archie Goodwin, Denny O’Neil, Herb Trimpe, Al Williamson, and Wally Wood. Most of its stories revolve around New York City (colloquially known as The Big Apple) during a particularly low ebb in the city’s finances, crime situation, race relations, and infrastructure.

Florence Steinberg (March 17, 1939 – July 23, 2017) was an American publisher of one of the first independent comic books, the underground/alternative comics hybrid Big Apple Comix, in 1975. Additionally, as the secretary for Marvel Comics editor Stan Lee and the fledgling company’s receptionist and fan liaison during the 1960s Silver Age of Comic Books, she was a key participant of and witness to Marvel’s expansion from a two-person staff to a pop culture conglomerate.

COMIC BOOKS THAT TIME FORGOT: BIG APPLE COMIX
(...)
Big Apple Comix arrived in 1975 (September, according to the indicia) as 32 ad-less black and white pages, with color covers, priced at one dollar. It’s labeled “Adults Only” on the cover, for good reason once you get inside. The short stories by a variety of New York-based comic talent aim to capture the adult side of life in the big city, including profanity and nudity. Big Apple Comix is one of a handful of releases considered early links between underground comix and modern independent/alternative comics. (Others include Mike Friedrich’s Star*Reach, Wally Wood’s witzend, and Mark Evanier’s High Adventure.)

Just for fun, here’s another Ploog story. Like his Luke Malone work, it was published in 1975. This is from Fabulous Flo Steinberg’s Big Apple Comix underground comic. LOTS of great art in this book. Gorgeous 2-page story written & drawn by Ploog.

Here is an East Coast underground comic! Big apple Comix, 1975. In general, many artists started in the underground and then went mainstream later in life, but this is just the opposite. This one is made by most (all?) people who worked for DC and Marvel. Edited by Flo Steinberg
