EXIT was a New York-based large-format alternative comic art and graphics magazine published from 1984 through 1992. It was founded in 1983 by George Petros and Adam Parfrey, with Kim Seltzer joining shortly afterward. Five issues were released; a sixth was partially completed. The magazine’s history is divided into two eras: the first, from inception through 1987, was characterized by the collaboration of Petros and Parfrey; and the second, spanning from Parfrey’s 1987 departure until the project’s end, was characterized by Petros’s work with J.G. Thirlwell, Robert N. Taylor, Michael Andros and Salvatore Canzonieri.
