Underground Comix-Ask Eggs

[EggsAckley]

Like an I-DIOT, I posted a book for sale here, so I will turn this into a discussion thread if anyone has any underground comix related questions.

Howard, good to see you posting again, it seems to have been awhile.

 

Any news to share about the Haight-Ashbury pedigree? (This gorgeous book needs to be moved to a sales thread).

[Xela]

I give Juan Fiddy

[RockMyAmadeus]

Is this a sales thread...?

 

[EggsAckley]

I still own all of them & have to get my act together soon. Had some health issues this year but that is all behind me now.

Yes, Glad to see you posting Howard. Happy you are feeling better.

[Speedy-D]

Good to see you back!

[Awax]

Howard..

 

Good to hear from you as well.

[Mr 9.8]

Didn't know you were sick, happy to hear you are now better.

[rjpb]

Glad to hear you are doing better.

 

My question for today.

 

Why is Tales from the Ozone #1 so scarce?

[Calidream'n]

Howard,

Glad you're better. I always love your sale's threads. Did you see the 1st Print Zap Comix #1 that was for sale on here a few days ago?

[EggsAckley]

It had very limited distribution and was published in conjunction with rock concerts. I have been told that most copies were trashed. There was a recent find of them that yielded several high grade copies.

 

As it has early Crumb art in it, it is in high demand.

 

Glad to hear you are doing better.

[EggsAckley]

Yes, the CGC 8.5 which was moved to Ebay.

 

I have a CGC 9.0 that is signed by Crumb I am thinking of selling here.

[Jeffro.]

Cool thread idea, even if it were re-purposed

What is the best collection to read Crumb's early stuff? I've seen a collection on Amazon, but the reviews are mixed. They say that it collects his really early stuff that can be a bore to read. Is that true?

 

I've been looking around so any help would be great!

 

Here is what is in my Amazon wish list:

[EggsAckley]

The Complete Crumb series is pretty much in chronological order, so Volume 1 is where you would start for his earliest work. His best known comic book works are in later issues. My favorites are Volumes 3 through 6. In my opinion, if money is to be spent, I would go with the original comics unless you can get the compilation books cheap enough. I recommend obtaining a copy of Zap #1, a 3rd print in decent shape can be bought for under $30, later prints much cheaper.
