The comic appeared in Zap #1. It was also reprinted in Head Comix. Perhaps this is a pre-production proof of some sort?

Those are some beautiful books there. Absolutely search sold examples on eBay before you put a price on yours, and pay special attention to condition and printing number, the latter being the best reason to have the price guides. The guides are an excellent source of reference material, but the prices shown should only be used to compare relative differences in values between books and for identifying editions (printings). It all comes down to what someone is willing to pay which can be inferred by scouring sale prices of sold items. Good luck!

950 according to Jay Kennedy (The Official Underground And Newave Comix Price Guide)

Tales From The Tube inserted into Surfer Magazine Vol 12 #6. I found three in a shop in California that sold old surfer magazines. Pristine shape with the inserts intact. Kennedy #1956

I used to work in precision sheet metal, and it was generally understood Mitutoyo was the brand to buy. Might be overkill for this purpose though. I use my digital Mitutoyo calipers to measure mine.

My go-to references are Fogel's Underground Price & Grading Guide and ugcomix.info (hit the reprint guide link) plus The Official Underground And Newave Comix Price Guide by Jay Kennedy.

Pulled out some old magazines for eBay and upon looking through an April 1972 copy of Racin' toons found a cartoon by Hunnicutt with Wonder Wart-Hog. He is documented as drawing Wonder Wart-Hog stuff (Gilbert Shelton's character) but could not find a reference to this particular instance. Knowing there are Wart-Hog fanatics out there, thought I would share. I'd attach an image, but apparently we can't do that here without linking to a web site. Hopefully the new software will allow that? Or am I missing something?

Someone on eBay is selling a mint opened set for WAY less.....just sayin'.

And no, I don't own a set either because of the price. Too much of Crumb's stuff is repackaged old comix published to keep the money flowing. I'll look through my collection of originals instead thankyouverymuch. With gloves. Under special lighting. Behind a sneeze guard.

Thanks everyone. I was aware of the comixjoint forums, and am upset at the lack of info on the comixpriceguide forum status. A lot of good information there, I hope it's not lost as it is a good source for people new to the genre. Glad I found this one.

Hi all, recognize some people here from comicspriceguide, and since it crashed I have been looking for another forum for underground collectors. Is this it, or are there other places to visit? Please excuse me if this is improper etiquette here, I apologize.
