Aaron Cometbus started putting out his seminal ‘zine Cometbus back in 1981. He was there at the epicenter of the pop punk explosion in the Bay Area in the late 80s and early 90s. He was a roadie and fill-in drummer for Green Day at the beginning of their meteoric rise, helped start famed punk venue 924 Gilman, and self-published achingly beautiful stories of wanderlust, friendship and love while living on the edges of society in his hand-lettered ‘zine Cometbus.
