Victor Moscoso Joins TDC’s Updated Senior Strippers Club
Skip to comments
Victor Moscoso, who got his start creating psychedelic posters for rock bands in San Francisco and became famous in comic circles as an early contributor to ZAP Comix with surrealistic sequential comics, was born 90 years ago on July 28, 1936 and so is now an honored member of The Daily Cartoonist’s Senior Strippers Club.
From Victor Moscoso’s website:
Professional lightning struck in the form of the psychedelic rock and roll poster for the San Francisco “Hippy” dance halls and clubs. Victor Moscoso’s posters for the Family Dog dance-concerts at the Avalon Ballroom and his Neon Rose posters for the Matrix were to bring his work international attention in the “Summer of Love”, 1967.
Within a year, lightning would strike again in the form of the Underground Comix. As one of the Zap Comix® Artists, Moscoso’s work, once again received international attention. Moscoso’s comix and poster work has continued up to the present.
The Moscoso comix index from Comixjoint and the Moscoso comix list from Grand Comics Database.
From The Comics Journal is a 2014 interview and from The Paris Review is a 2015 interview.
And now the updated Senior Strippers list for Summer 2026 of cartoonists who for 90+ years continue to survive “the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to.”
