Each story in Real Deal Comix details the everyday struggles of urban dwellers, driven by the rage and futility that their lives bring them. Real Deal Magazine was a self-published independent comic book created in the 1990s by Lawrence Hubbard and inspired by magazines like MAD and traditional superhero comics but satirising the Blaxploitation movies of the '70s with a cast of convicts, murderers and hustlers. It has gained a cult following in recent years, but has never been collected - until now.
