Morty Comix #1882




Although Morty Comix were created as one-of-a-kind original art giveaways, for some reason Michael Dowers talked me into making this "Special Mass Production Issue" in 1990. I am guessing it was due to 4 extra pages he had to fill when he was also printing issue #2 of another series I edited, Raining Quills. Publishers abhor blank pages.

There exist some accidental versions of Morty Comix #1882 incorporated into Raining Quills #2, also published by Starhead. I assume these are few and far between.

This comic was reprinted as a 1st Danger Room Reprint Ed. in June 2005 with 5 pink copies.

In Sept. 2006 there were printed 10 yellow copies of the 1st OlyBlog Reprint Ed., to take up the slack of blank pages with a reprint of Brave New Nazis of the Inland Empire.

Apparently, Morty Comix #1882 was born to be an extra blank page filler!
