Very nice, congratulation. (Too bad you had to part with such a gem). (Also, crazy idea to seal off it in a plastic bag, I don't get it) ------------------------------- from HA, some useful info: Foo #1 Original Printing (Animal Town Comics, 1958) CGC NM- 9.2 White pages. In case you're wondering, "Animal Town Comics" was the name Charles Crumb called his little home-made comics organization, run by himself and staffed with his brothers and sisters. All of their comic book output consisted of one-of-a-kind hand-drawn pamphlets, until a teenaged Charles and his brother Robert Crumb took the next step and had copies of their newest endeavor, Foo, printed at their father's workplace. Robert and Charles had both been inspired by EC titles such as Tales From the Crypt and (especially) MAD, and Foo was created along these lines, with additional help from fellow EC Fan-Addict Mike Britt. While the boys sold a few copies by going door to door in their hometown of Dover, Delaware, explaining the book as a "school project," most of the print run was trashed out of frustration by the brothers. We've seen just a few of these rare first issues come through Heritage auctions, but this copy is as nice as any we've encountered anywhere, in fact, it's the highest-graded copy of only two on CGC's census for the issue (the other is a FN/VF 7.0). Even the 1980 reprint set is hard to come by, and sells for hundreds of dollars, but here it is, Underground Comix fans -- the original edition of the very first printed comic book featuring art by Robert Crumb. Not currently listed in Fogel's Underground Comix Price Guide. CGC census 1/21: 1 in 9.2, none higher.

A master, a devoted artist to the medium, a sincere poetics. His romanticism has been a friendly presence for many many years. Thanks so much. Take it easy. Bye.

WOW !!!!! It looks great! Congratulation!!! m.

Hi anybody interested in Douglas Bryson? On ebay.com I see a nice (complete?) collection of his comic books for a out of range price. Anybody owns double copies? m. *** STAY SAFE ***

@wpbooks01, out of curiosity, do you have a collection of comic books bounded together in a 'book'? why so?

I got a copy, thanks to https://www.poopsheetfoundation.com/ It is a somehow interesting piece, a short report on what was going on at that time.

Hi All I just discovered something I was not aware of https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw="DIGGING+THE+UNDERGROUND+COMIX"&_sacat=0 That copy on ebay looks pretty dirty, I am not going to bid on it. If you have another one, I may be interested to a fair deal. Thanks Cheers m.

fine, thanks m. ps I have two copies of his first one: Artsy Fartsy Funnies. I enjoyed it.

I see his books on Lynch, Spain and Osborne. He is announcing 'two other books', isn't he?

about who, what? m.

I just got these Big Time Comics, by Michael McMillan. Each is a single, folded sheet, four pages. It seems I miss the fourth off four. Could they be promotional handouts for his Terminal Comics? Nice piece on McMillan at https://comixjoint.com/terminalcomics.html and a short entry at https://www.lambiek.net/artists/m/mcmillan_michael.htm I appreciate if you let me read whatever you may know about McMillian and his comics, included some whereabouts of these three. cheers m. EDIT nobody?

Thanks, I just got a 3rd print!

Hi I have a question about Filipino Food. Kennedy lists the 1972 edition by Olympia Press as #733 Question: is it the following one? Kennedy also states: "an earlier limited edition of 1000 copies for $1.25 is reported of by Dace Dawdy on page 63 of The Last Supplement To The Whole Earth Catalog". Is it the following one? if not, which is which? We all know (don't you?) there is a precious, special, wood covered edition: I just discovered that there is a greek edition too:

Lands of Prestor John, Essence of Tool #4 I got both of them on e-bay for a very few bucks. Thanks to let me know about them. Looking for your next obscure ones. cheers mario ps if you wish, I see more of both on e-bay

That was a pity, it was a very interesting board, plenty of interesting, very competent people. cheers mario ps by mistake, I started a new topic with this msg, my intent was to partecipate to this one, which seems to be more a board for UG comix collectors than a single topic, doesn't it?
