Starhead Presents # 1
1st edition, 1986, Seattle, Washington : Starhead Comix. Traditional comic format.
I believe this was my first nationally distributed comic, published during the start of the Great Black and White Glut of the 1980s.
50 copies included a hand drawn Morty Comix inside the front cover. The range was # 1641-1690.
A physical oddity: the cover is made of the same newsprint material as the guts.
This was later re-released by Starhead in 1992 under the title Morty the Dog in the Shadow of the Rainbow.
I'm also including the promotional material Starhead's Michael Dowers assembled for marketing to comic dealers.
