Weirdest Comic in Your Collection?

I published that little booklet. It was a way to raise money for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. We gave away regular copies at the 1993 Chicago Comicon to the first 10,000 attendees (Neil was Guest of Honor). Neil then signed 2,500 copies for later sale and $1.00 from each book went to the CBLDF. Needless to say we raised $2,500...

 

You have one of the few that he did little sketches or notes on. It most have been boring to sit and autograph copy after copy and to amuse himself he did little things to some of them. I think it's pretty cool and still holds up nicely 13 years later.

 

I'd be happy to post another version that I own, but Firefox keeps telling me that there's "no data" when I attempt to attach a scan... Anyway, it's pretty cool.

There are 2 or 3 Crumb/Bukowsi books - (Crumb illos.-not strips - though Crumb did do a strip version of 1 or 2 Bukowski stories in Arcade). They're all pretty easy to find - and there signed (by both) and numbered hardback versions too. Those were limited to around 400 copies. I've got the signed &numbered "Bring Me Your Love" buried somewhere in my comic boxes.

I have this one. It was printed because the cover to #4 was on #5 or some such nonsense. I loved that maxiseries by the way.
