felixthecat Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I found information supporting that online..... The 2nd printing has no copyright info on the back cover, but the 3rd printing has copyright info on the back cover inside a purple-colored circle. The 4th printing has copyright info on the back cover, but it is now outside of the circle. The information on printing for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th editions are still sketchy and there may be another printing that is currently unknown. _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother J Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 much nicer than my copy! I own the copy that is pictured on the ugcomix.info web site used to identify what a first printing looks like. I know it's mine because the bug chew marks match! http://www.ugcomix.info/guide/tells/0722tell.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmilwaukee6er Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Hey I am sharing one because I want to see Felix's thread keep going. So far he has shared three beautiful Air Pirates books... #1 ... a classic underground cover (an homage to the Big Little Book Mickey Mouse the Mail Pilot) #2 (perhaps the toughest in grade) #3 The Tortoise & the Hare #nn (commonly known as Air Pirates #3, but they couldn't really use the name) Then this tabloid is considered Air Pirates #4 AP Vol 1 #1 tabloid, created during the trial Edited August 10, 2016 by oldmilwaukee6er Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixthecat Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I still need to get a copy of the tabloid. Here is another book that only has one printing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felixthecat Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Yesterday I picked up a full run of Omaha the Cat Dancer(missing #2) I am really enjoying reading these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother J Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Looks like you're missing more than just #2, there should be twenty four issues in total, the 20 issues from Steeldragon/Kitchen Sink and the four Vol. 2 issues from Fantagraphics. Here's a list of just about everything Omaha: http://www.omahathecatdancer.com/omaha_history.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixthecat Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 It looks like I am missing issues 16, 17, 19 and 20. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmilwaukee6er Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Love it. It's a tribute to this. Excellent observation! There could be a whole subset of underground comix dedicated to Rand Holmes' Wally Wood homages, e.g. Harold Hedd #2, Slow Death #5-6, Fog City Comics #2-3, or Death Rattle (Vol. 2) #4. Let alone u-comix EC pastiche. We underground collector's call Rand the pothead's Wally Wood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixthecat Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Good stuff. Rand Holmes is one of my favorite artists. Here is my copy of Harold Hedd #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Great book! But the cover reminds me more of Jack Davis than Wally Wood... 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother J Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Nice Harold Hedd, hard to get #1 in high grade because of the size. Most of the copies that I've seen were folded at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
