Ashcans weren't really being produced in 1983, so that would be an oddity. Maybe it was something produced for a DVD release? I have an Ashcan sized "Land of the Giants" #1 that has the Gold Key logo and everything. It was produced for a DVD.

I passed on it but I will pick it up during the Christmas break.
I still can't find any info on it anywhere.
Do you have a scan or something? I wasn't even aware an ashcan existed.
No. It was a typical ashcan. IIRC the cover was on yellow stock. Black only printing, not color.
It wasn't typical for 1982 & 1983. It could have been created to promote Pacific at conventions. If your discovery is true, collectors would have viewed it as something easy to bootleg/fake and not had a lot of confidence in it as a collectible.

I'll post scans of it when I pick it up in a few weeks.
My Christmas break started this past weekend, so I'm still looking forward to seeing the scan of this. I like rarities and oddities.

My Christmas plans have changed so it may be another month or so before I can get back to pick it up.
You better let me pick it up for you then. Someone else might grab it in the meantime.
Nobody is going to get it. Trust me.
So DIce,ever pick up that ashcan?
