1st edition, 1983, 150 copies on white cardstock.
2nd edition, December 1983, 20 copies on white cardstock.
3rd edition, 1984. Seattle, Washington : Starhead Comix, regular stock white paper.
Doug Holverson, John Howard, David Miller, Robert Stump, Robin Coder-Willis, Steve Willis, Clay Geerdes.
That great cover shows Holverson in, I believe, his beloved Studebaker. David Miller's self-portrait looks like it could've been drawn during the Renaissance and it remains one of my favorites in the series. Robin's demonstrates just how provincial we native Washingtonians can be, tucked up here in this corner, walled off by water, mountains and rain. Morty obviously has little patience for T.S. Eliot.
Howard and Stump were two prolific Newave regulars during the early-mid 1980s. John produced some of the funniest wage slave comix I've encountered, and Robert was very active in publishing, including reprinting my Sasquatch Comix series.
I met Geerdes and Miller in 1989 on a visit to the Bay Area. As you can see by the photos in the Clay Geerdes Scrapbook post, David looks pretty much like the way he portrayed himself, but Clay had a more creative self-image I must say. Oddly, to me Clay's self-portrait matched his voice, but not his face.
Thanks for posting this. I have copies of this one. I think it is number 11 that I am missing. I did the cover for that one. I don't know why I was in it twice. I was invited to contribute a few years later and had to decline because I had already been in it twice.
