Blab! was an anthology edited by Monte Beauchamp that featured a mixture of alternative comics and illustrated features focused predominantly on illustration, graphic design, and lowbrow art.
The first two issues (1986-87) were published by Beauchamp's own imprint, Monte Comix. In 1988 Kitchen Sink Press took over the title, publishing issues #3-8 as well as printing new editions of issues 1 and 2. Issues #9–18 were published annually by Fantagraphics between 1997 and 2007 in a 120-page, 10" x 10" square format featuring both black-and-white and color art. In 2010 Last Gasp revived the series for two issues under the title Blab World.
In 2003, Chronicle Books published the book collection New & Used Blab!. As the title suggests, one half of the book consists of selections from previous issues while the other half (bound dos-à-dos style) features new works by frequent contributors. Several solo books by individual Blab! contributors were published with the subtitle "A Blab! Storybook".
