I can remember walking into Comics & Comix
one afternoon,
seeing THIS COMIC [title] on The Stands,
and being REALLY excited.
***
I was SO glad to see this fresh Gilbert Shelton book,
that I bought five, on the spot, ... AT ..
Comics & Comix,
on Telegraph Avenue, right then!
(Therefore, these are newsstand copies.)
This is the first one of those five.
***
MANY copies of this [1st printing] were lost
in a Rip Off Press fire that hit them then. (1985).
***
This one has been in The Archives for 30 years,
and
IS, NOW..
CORNER-STONED !!
***
Thanks, Mr. S.;
Thanks CGC,
Thanks CGC CS,
for
taking 'our sport'
to higher levels.. still.

I waited a long time for this one, but

Fortunately for me, I was able to secure
the Full-Colour POP (Publishers Overlay
Proof) from RIP OFF PRESS for this issue..
to match THIS top-graded copy. This is one
of my all time favorite covers.. of the many
books that I bought throughout the Eighties.
