Synopsis
The Derby Dugan comic strip continues, but by the 1960s has fallen on hard times. The artist who is drawing it resorts to booze to ease the pain of the strip's constant rejection. Finally, the strip is usurped by a druggy young California artist; when he updates Dugan, creating a pothead named Eugene, the strip is suddenly much more successful.

Publisher's Note
During the Summer of Love in 1967, Roy Looby, a talented young cartoonist, leaves his mentor behind and sets out to San Francisco's Haight Ashbury where he creates "The Imp Eugene," a licentious character who propels Looby into stardom and seclusion, in a vivid portrait of jealousy, regret, and pop culture. Reprint.

Industry Reviews
"[A] fascinating, frustrating partial sequel....[It] does finally fail to deliver on its very considerable promise. A shame, too, since DUGAN UNDER GROUND positively rattles with energy, invention, and roughhouse wit. It's chaotic--and quite wonderful."
Kirkus Reviews (08/01/2001)

"DUGAN UNDER GROUND is, alas, the weakest entry in the Derby Dugan series, but collectively, the Derby books, with their multiple viewpoints, carefully interwoven plot lines and potted social-history lessons, are a mighty accomplishment: John Dos Passos' U.S.A. trilogy as rendered for comics geeks."
New York Times Book Review - David Kamper (10/14/2001)
