Oh I like the red border too! I just meant I like the fact that the second print stands out on its own with a distinct difference.

Well, 2-4th prints.  No way to tell those three apart, as far as I know...

I found this in my collection, dont remember when or how it got into my collection, but....

I know there are several printings, but have no idea what printing this is. So I thought to come to the underground Gods to give me insight.

 

 

Found out. It's a 3rd print. Thanks all.

This is said to be by Tom Veitch (see at https://www.ebay.com/itm/255635312223).
It seems to me a very nice piece of work.

I am trying to know a little more about Tom Veitch, and he emerges as a prominent artist, doesn't he?

Such a treat to arrive home from some grocery shopping to find the real delight I want to consume forthwith........

Today's book.  Slow Death ties with Skull, I think, as the long-running underground most blatantly influenced by EC.  And the covers in the middle of the run are the most obvious.  Throwing in the scan of an EC of mine for comparison.

Spain Rodriguez (1940-2012)

If you happen to have a spare copy of this EVO issue, let me know.

Does anybody know a little more about "postcards and prints that Spain did in the late 70’s/early 80’s at Galería de la Raza. The Galería was one of the first publicly accessible locations in San Francisco to have a color xerox machine and artists such as Spain produced all sorts of amazing prints with it. As with his comic work, a lot of the prints Spain produced were closely tied to the Mission and its then-thriving lowrider scene" (from https://rioyanez.com/2013/03/16/the-mission-district-art-of-spain-rodriguez/) ?

Today's book.  Now I just need to find a copy of #13 for a complete run of Freak Brothers, even if many of my copies are reprints.  At least I've got the four color issues in color, rather than the later B&W reprints:

Here are the first 4 of some great Undergrounds I picked up last month! (More to share later )
