When I was buying from PACIFIC COMICS Distributors, I bought some ‘SPACED’ File Copies, of numbers, 2, 3, & 4, but I think, my SPACED #5s, hand-stamped "Printed In Canada", on the top inside, back covers, came from Bud Plant. Also, I bought many ‘STARSLAYER’ 2s, & 3s, with Dave Stevens' ROCKETEER, directly from PACIFIC!
