That other TFTT! (with a Bijou 1 2nd picked up at the same sale...)

And don't forget UG's that use an actual EC logo on the cover, even if it is a slightly different EC.....

Seems like a comic that is rarely found in top grade these days. I think the printer used really cheap pulpy paper on it. I've had a few and kept my best looking copy in my main UG collection, but I, too, am always hoping for that nifty upgrade. Took my funkiest looking copy and had it bound into permanence, but it's also the most fragile element of this collected edition as it always seems like it could disintegrate at any time!

Me Too!

I never heard the term until I bought a copy of the Kennedy Guide when it came out. It's probably how I would classify books like Fear And Laughter and Weird Trips as well, being post-Arcade. Quack, Star Reach, Cerebus, etc. all fit that bill for me, as even the contributors seemed next generation. Most likely the only exception to me would be the run of Rip Off Comix, as it contained original UG creators.

These are a couple of acquisitions that I snagged at an Art Book Fair. Technically not UG, but 'special' in their own ways!

Aline is an acquired taste that I'm quite happy I acquired! Her stuff makes me laugh, and that's what I want from a COMIC book! Mazel on your pick-up!

I recall there also being early Dave Stevens artwork in Quack.

Pretty much my point when I stated my interests. UG covers a lot of stuff, and much of it is dissimilar to everything else. I recall buying Fear And Laughter off the rack when it came out. I never thought of it as UG, more like post-UG. It was published after Arcade and I always used that as the endpoint, if you will. Of course just like content, that sort of thing is in the eye of the beholder! Silver Age into Bronze Age like....

Binky Brown Skull Comics Slow Death Bijou #8 Deviant Slice Subvert Power Pak (I like Aline much better than Trina and the gang at Wimmens) Freak Bros. 1 Grimwit Man From Utopia Since you mentioned Zap and Air Pirates you already have a bit of the big picture. My list is subject to change, and if I don't have a particular issue cited, I mean the whole run. Sorry I'm bad at following instructions. And I have had a copy of the Captain Crud pb since I was a kid and my Mom bought me a copy without looking at it too closely. Thanks Mom, and Hi! Hope this gives you some ideas Other Eric. I admit I'm partial to horror and violence in my comix, and lots of hardcore sex when drawn the way that appeals to me. I have standards after all. Good luck!

Genesis is my least perused Crumb book in a massive library of his work. I looked at it the day I bought it and it has remained on the shelf ever since. When it comes to RC and the Bible, this is at the top o'my pile!!!! I have 5 in different states and versions! Now let us pray......... I have two of these but am too lazy to scan my copies, but I think you get the drift..... and of course the one that started it all....

If the book is slabbed, I'm a slave to the blip. I'm open to the interior page issue if the comic is not slabbed. All I have seen though, in the last few years, since the slab is now GOD, the blip is consistent. Can't speak to your discoloration theory as I've not heard it before, and it does seem like something that would change over a print run. The blip.....not so much. If I were the buyer of that copy from last week's Heritage sale, I'd flip it ASAP, unless HA allows one to deslab a book for examination of the page layout and will refund the price if proven otherwise.

2 Snatch 1 first prints from PBA Galleries auction, sale 698 6/4/2020 Blip city!

All the firsts I have seen have that 'blip'.

Looking at the scan of the cover of Snatch #1 that was in the auction, and supposed to be a first print, it looked to me like a later one as it was missing the cover tell, or point, above Hippy Chick's head.....as seen here..... Meanwhile here's the one that sold last week....

They were reprinted in some cases many times, but there are 66 original Pussycat tales that were published between 1965 and August 1972, mostly in the titles Male, Men and Stag Annual.

That would entail 65 issues of sweat mags, plus the compilation, as it contains an original tale,Hidden Hippie Caper! Congrats!

1st Pussycat (art by W. Wood - 1965) Sort of reprinted though retouched in this more 'famous' collection circa 1968

RIP Simon Deitch

Those were my first Bijou's....bought from a Last Gasp catalog via mail order around 1972-73!

And I recall Andru and Espositio (or maybe Andru only) doing the cover for Ventures Of Zimmerman.

Yeah...it's funny that the cover of 1/72 mentions the Crumb connection, but not the Realist or actual title!

Saw your post in the UG thread first......I believe you are correct re:Adams unless you count the covers he did INSIDE the mags!!!! I think this was Wrightson's only front cover for NL, but it's actually pretty amusing when one realizes the rear cover of this was Frazetta!!!

You are correct, Sir. Was too lazy to pull out the 1/72 Is Nothing Sacred? issue when BONL3 was easily accessible from the book shelf!!! All here should also note the Neal Adams front cover on that tasty specimen, as well!
