  1.  

    A raw 7.5 of Birds, Bees and Turtles sold in this month's Comiclink auction for $83.

    Like Gobbledygook, it's black and white, had a 50-copy print run, and won't be certified by CGC because of the ease of counterfeiting. So you should look for some sort of proof of provenance.

     

     

    Wow, talk about under the radar. That's the first time I've seen the book sell for less than $500.

     

    Ya thats a really good price for such a rare book.

     

    :acclaim: Another rare book for my collection

  2. I just won this in the August Heritage auction. I don't know if this would qualify as an underground comix. Robert Crumb and his brother Charles made this when they were kids.

    Foo #2

    NOT Underground related. You paid too much! It can't be worth more than $5, maybe $10 at most. Send it to me and I will destroy it properly to end your otherwise eternal shame.

     

     

     

     

    Jealousy makes me type weird things. lol

     

    I finally received it today. My birthday present to myself. :banana:

  3. Wow, that is amazing! How many copies do you suppose are out there? Three?

     

    I suppose you already know this, but the cover is based on a panel Wally Wood did for the story "V-Vampires!" in Mad Comics #3.

     

    I read that 300 copies were made. Half were sold and the rest were burned by Robert. I don't know how many copies of #2 have survived, but it has been estimated that only 20 copies of Foo #1 exist.
