Richard Edward "Grass" Green (May 7, 1939[1] – August 5, 2002) was an African American cartoonist notable for being the first black participant in both the 1960s fan art movement and the 1970s underground comics movement.[2] In the 1960s, Green's Harvey Kurtzman-like[3] zany, action-packed, humorous comics parodies appeared in numerous fanzines. His "outrageous" 1970s and 1980s underground work used searing humor to expose America's racism and bigotry.[4]
