Generally VF or better, folded horizontally in the manner of tabloid papers, "Winds of Change" is off-white with edges toning, "King Bee" is white. Provenance: From the Collection of Ron Turner, Publisher of Last Gasp.

Over 200 pages, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcovers $40, dust-jacketed hardcover with limitation plate $200.

Crumb says, "I found [PBA's catalogue] so interesting that I am saving it for the texts that accompany the comics which were put up for auction. This is some of the best commentary I’ve yet seen on the quality of the content of comic books. I especially enjoyed the reviews of the post-war horror comics. Great. Priceless."
