Issue Notes
Early printings by Apex Novelties. Later printings by Print Mint and Last Gasp with the Apex Novelty logo still on the cover. Cover price variants include .35, .50, .60, .75, 1.50, 2.95, 4.95.
First edition is known to exist as untrimmed, with a 1/4-inch white bar around 3 sides that was never trimmed.
As stated in Mark James Estren's "A History of Underground Comics," this was actually published after Zap #2 came out in 1968. The artwork for this issue was lost after the publisher who had it moved to India. Luckily, Crumb had made xeroxes which he managed to locate months later. Crumb did get the original artwork back several years later.
