 In 1971 , after several visits , Spiegelman moved to San Francisco and became a part of the countercultural underground comix movement that had been developing there . Some of the comix he produced during this period include The Compleat Mr. Infinity ( 1970 ) , a ten @-@ page booklet of explicit comic strips , and The Viper Vicar of Vice , Villainy and Vickedness ( 1972 ) , a transgressive work in the vein of fellow underground cartoonist S. Clay Wilson . Spiegelman 's work also appeared in underground magazines such as Gothic Blimp Works , Bijou Funnies , Young Lust , Real Pulp , and Bizarre Sex , and were in a variety of styles and genres as Spiegelman sought his artistic voice . He also did a number of cartoons for men 's magazines such as Cavalier , The Dude , and Gent .
