9) TRASHMAN
Hailing from a dystopian, fascistic future (likening it to the world of 2016 is just too easy a joke to make) Harry Barnes fights for the common man against an increasingly dehumanized military state. Whereas many underground cartoonists of the era eschewed the superhero format, creator Spain Rodriguez plays the tropes mostly straight, all the while championing the counterculture and even breaking the Fourth Wall as necessary. It’s all fascinating to read.
