Dan O'Neill And The Air Pirates is a fascinating peek into the underground comic scene of the 70s. The film dives deep into O'Neill's world, revealing how his collective, The Air Pirates, challenged Disney in a legal saga that stretched on for years. The atmosphere is gritty yet filled with a certain rebellious spirit, which captures the essence of a time when counterculture was alive and kicking. Despite the serious themes of copyright and free speech, there's an underlying humor that O'Neill and his crew bring to the table. The pacing flows like a good comic, mixing archival footage with interviews that feel candid and raw. It's not just about the battle; it's about the community that rallied around it, which makes it all the more compelling.
