Fun in Acapulco
A weird "half-comic" named in honor of the movie starring Elvis, who happens to be a character in the first story.
1st edition, September 1982, Olympia, Washington, 30 copies, pink cover, enlarged digest size.
2nd edition, August 1984, Alamogordo, New Mexico, 30 copies, white cover, enlarged digest size.
1996, print-on-demand, regular digest size.
1st Danger Room Reprint Edition, July 2005, 5 copies, pink cover, regular digest size.
The story "Tomorrow is Yesterday" was reprinted in Portland Underground Comix # 3 (Portland, Or. : Pastime Pub. Co., 1983)
I have always liked the cover of this one. The rest of the comic comes across as sort of a crazy quilt of ideas linked together with a fraying string of consciousness.
Inside back cover, panel 4. That's a self-portrait.
The back cover is entirely true, except for maybe the final panel.
