Alternative Comics
Deitch regularly contributed comical, psychedelia-tinged comic strips (featuring the flower child "Sunshine Girl" and "The India Rubber Man") to New York City's premier underground newspaper, the East Village Other, beginning in 1967. He joined Bhob Stewart as an editor of EVO's all-comics spin-off, Gothic Blimp Works, in 1969. He is also an important figure in the current alternative comics movement which evolved from the underground comix movement.
Deitch was also a publisher, as co-founder of the Cartoonists Co-op Press. In 2008, the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art featured a retrospective exhibition of his work.
