I am missing the "Up Yourself Book" and a late special that I think is called "Made In Canada" which featured only Canadian writers and humor. I have the Big Art Book, a couple of the Iron-On books (which are thin and hard to discern in my photo) and multiple copies of the Sunday Newspaper Parody, also sort of shown in the photos, which are still sealed in the original shrinkwrap. (They are the books between the Dirty Joke Book and the NL Songbook. That's also a Bicentennial Calendar sticking out with no discernable spine!) I think I still have about 10 Sunday Papers sealed!. Also, I have multiples of the CBA issue, one of which is included at the rear of my bind of 1970 issues, since there was extra space due to the magazine beginning in April! (actually there was a CBA #25 devoted to Alan Moore, so #24 was actually the second to last issue, and probably my favorite one of the run!) Thank you for your kind comments!

Note the credit for Richard Corben in the top photo. That is how it looks on the 1st print. It is less 'dark' at the '38' in the second print as shown in the lower image. (Courtesy of EC Fan-Addict FB Group) You can compare your copy with that point and get a perhaps more accurate assessment of what you have?

Bud Plant has copies that come with a decorative, signed/numbered plate by the editors with illo by George Evans. Limited to 200. I, too, have a complete run, but no second prints. I do have dupes of a few copies though, as they turned up at a price too hard to resist, or were given to me in a trade....

And all wrapped up in a classic Richard Corben cover! A reason in itself to own the issue! Neal is the 'bonus plan'!!!

Quite unimaginative of them, eh? Heh, indeed!

Maybe both

Can you call The Creeps, Warren?

2 full runs

NatLamp Year 1-5 (the reading copies and some custom rebinds at left) NatLamp virtually every special except maybe 2 (my dupes that I keep on the shelf)

My Warren full runs: Help Monster World Spirit Comix International (2) 1984/94 Various One-Shots

What He^^^ said!

Was not aware you were in SF! Or is there also a Frederick St. in Milwaukee?

The episodes exceeded my low expectations. I laffed much. I'll be back next week for ep. 3!

On par with the Comixjoint website, I suppose for cover-fu! I wouldn't part with my copy.

Kirby Guide? Please enlighten me/us?

Not a price guide, though.

here's another....

It's certainly Deitch but whether and where it was published, I'm unsure. Kemp published a lot of adult books that he may have used original illustrations in, but he also just lifted UG material wholesale, probably unauthorized, to use in his publications. I have many Greenleaf books that have sections on porn in comics and usually there are 'litts' to be found within. Perhaps he commissioned Deitch for an illustration, along with Osborne, Wilson, Trina and others, if you look at the completed auctions from the seller who says he's Earl's son. I may have to check my copy of the Illustrated Report the son also attempts to sell. it's been awhile since I cracked it open, but I'm pretty sure there are UG illos within.

You mean the Kim Deitch art linked to above?

And don't forget that delightful 'old funnybook' aroma that smacks you in the face, bigly! Something you don't really get in a finely printed collected edition. The missing link, if you will! Makes me a tad giddy! And Undergrounds are old enough now to share such delight!

I always like to inspire people to liberate the comics and comix from the darkness of the long and short box, and bring them into the light! Johnny Bindingseed, I am!

Part of my wall o'joy! Some recent editions....... Lower berth....

Always wanted a collected edition of Skull, so I made one out of my 'undercopies'......part of my set of Corben Compendiums (even the ones that don't include his work, because....well....why not!) Can only show 1-3 as I don't want to risk upsetting the minders due to the back covers of 3-6 exhibiting girl flesh!

There ya go!

The 1 and 3 require some investigation (as would a #2) to determine if they are firsts as your pictures show the comix partially obscured, and no interior point for the #1. But a fine score anyways, as the reading is priceless!
