Love and Rockets #1 PROTOTYPE......

The stock of mine kind of feels like construction paper we used as kids. Cheap, thats for sure. As for counterfeit, I doubt it, as all of the copies I have seen have looked and felt the exact same. No worries, I believe they are real. As for where mine came from, I'll have to search my files for that one. I'll get back to ya

I have seen your file room....don't hold your breath Bill.

 

 

aaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhh ......dik.

Yeah. He has had it up for sale on and off for quite a while now. I'm happy to say my copy is probably a hell of a lot nicer than his though .

You should be able to get at least $3,000 for it then.

Was it next to the garbage bag full of paper shreddings or under the old pizza box?

I think the Bros did their own little xerox self-published comic first, which got them the attention of Gary Groth & Fantagraphics. If that's true, then that's probably what this is.

 

If anybody out there hasn't been introduced to L&R, I highly, highly recommend it. It's Alan Moore-level genius.

Well, going back to the original question regarding whether or not it can be encapsulated....IF the book is a xerox print job then CGC will not encapsulate it. Eerie #1 has the same problem. Basically it becomes virtually impossible to authenticate a xeroxed comic.

It looks like a cheap printed book, not a xerox or anything. It is not on copy paper or anything like that. As stated earlier the paper is more construction paper-like. Very rigid and grainy.

Why not PGX then...

[jonjesper]

so who has an extra copy for sale?

[OldGuy]

PM TomG. I believe he would be able to get the ball rolling.

 

Tom is no longer working on the guide.

[Timulty]

Figures, I am a Day Late and Dollar Short. Well, there goes that suggestion. Sorry guys.

I'd be careful paying a lot of money for this. I KNOW it has been counterfeited as I once knew a guy who did just that. This was in the mid-1980s. It is a pretty easy book to reprint. I was just a teenager and I was visiting a comic collector I had met through small press publishing in the Twin Cities and he showed me a pile of them and even stopped at the printing shop that was doing the work for him while I was there.
