I have the issue on the left, and another issue. Never came across that #1 though. I have the TBP, which is also kind of tough to acquire.

Got this at a yard sale. It was sandwiched in between some other adult comics in a Penthouse porno magazines box

Found another copy. The print runs is relatively high cause it’s a JL 80s title but not many survived in incredibly high grade

It's crazy to me what this sells for now. You used to be able to get these on clearance from Bud Plant, they had a set of Sally Forth books you could order for like $8. Maybe less? It was in their catalog forever. I bought a set for the AH cover, and there's also a Xaime cover in that run as well. Mine is long gone, should have kept it, naturally. There are some real gems in the 90's Eros stuff, and I can't believe print runs would be very high, considering many shops wouldn't even carry the line.

Exactly why it's an ebay book. you just can't find it in the wild at a shop.. gotta be lucky at a garage sale.. I remember when Thrasher site's was selling comics for cheap back in 2011 .. no one wanted them for $1 each

Sally Forth may be one of the only Hughes' books I didn't run into while collecting.   Dirty Pair was the other.

Missed out on the Dirty Pair months ago from a collection buying experience gone wrong.  Only time I've ever found it in the wild and then poof...back into it.

Found in a dollar bin a few years ago. Quite happy to spot it:I actually told the store owner I thought they had made a mistake and did they want to take it and reprice it.  They declined.

I haven't seen a copy in this book in over 10 years except
on ebay. 

Whats funny is there is also a con variant thats just as hard 
to find maybe harder. I couldnt pay for it fast enough. Looks NM+

Back cover has ad/poster of the movie. #1 first print is still the more desired version

Three variants, actually, with each cover featuring a different Reject. 

Here's the Baby version along with a set of 3 wanted poster promo cards and a temporary tattoo you could get at the Lions Gate booth at the same time.

Yes I have seen the con variants only once in person never seen those tats. They occasionally show up on eBay.

Not much rumored it was recalled not proven. Most would t know the difference unless they read the indincia or look closely at the book.
