- Weirdo est un périodique de bande dessinée américain dirigé par Robert Crumb, Peter Bagge puis Aline Kominsky-Crumb dont les 28 numéros ont été publiés de 1981 à 1993 par la maison d'édition indépendante Last Gasp. Weirdo, qui publiait les travaux récents de nombreux auteurs de la scène underground alors en déclin net, ainsi que de certains jeunes auteurs de la scène alternative naissante, a marqué la transition entre les années 1970 et 1990. Il est apparu à certains critiques comme le contrepoint du formellement plus ambitieux RAW d'Art Spiegelman et Françoise Mouly (1980-1991), l'autre grande publication alternative des années 1980.

- Weirdo was a magazine-sized comics anthology created by Robert Crumb and published by Last Gasp from 1981 to 1993. Featuring cartoonists both new and old, Weirdo served as a "low art" counterpoint to its contemporary highbrow Raw, co-edited by Art Spiegelman. Crumb contributed cover art and comics to every issue of Weirdo; his wife, cartoonist Aline Kominsky-Crumb, also had work in almost every issue. Crumb focused increasingly on autobiography in his stories in Weirdo. Many other autobiographical shorts would appear in Weirdo by other artists, including Kominsky-Crumb, Carol Tyler, Phoebe Gloeckner, and Dori Seda. David Collier, a Canadian ex-soldier, published autobiographical and historical comics in Weirdo. The anthology introduced artists such as Peter Bagge, Dori Seda, Dennis Worden, and Carol Tyler. With issue #10, Crumb handed over the editing reins to Bagge; with issue #18, the reins went to Kominsky-Crumb (except for issue #25, which was again edited by Bagge). The three editorial tenures were known respectively as "Personal Confessions", the "Coming of the Bad Boys", and "Twisted Sisters". Overall, the magazine had a mixed response from audiences; Crumb's fumetti contributions, for instance, were so unpopular that they have never appeared in Crumb collections. (en)
