Tri-Hydro Bi-Oxygenate!

So not Thai Baht? (shrug)

 

It's actually an interesting book. I didn't always know what was going on, but it was interesting. I will find my copies. They were signed by Paul Pope on the inside cover and have bled through terribly to the outer cover, but they are still sweet.

 

PS: This is supposed to be about 80's books. Gower gets 50 lashes with a modern floppy.

My money is on the fact that Doc Joe now owns that book.

 

Mine too. Thought the same exact thing. :)

 

Doc Joe already had copy #1, this book went to another collector. The book is not that hard to find, but finding it without color breaks is tough. I've been looking for two years. The #32 seems to be tougher, it is very odd that they kept the same numbering with that large time gap between issues.

This book took me forever to track down.

This is the white Whitman logo version. The one that grimace posted (sealed in the cool 2-packs) is the yellow logo version. Isn't the best thinking on this subject that the white logos were sold in the direct market not in sealed bags?
