Not exactly the feelgood comic of 1985, my take on the
Book of Job with a dash of
Hamlet was first published by Small Town Publications in Cloquet, Minnesota. The first printing was on white paper. The second Small Town printing was later that same year with blue covers. Small Town Publications was actually Ross Raihala, who was, from what I could gather, a teenager at the time. He later became a newspaper journalist and columnist. For awhile he even worked for
The Olympian in Olympia, Washington, but I understand he's now back home in Minnesota and still writing. Unfortunately we never met while he was working out here.
In 1994 I revived the title in my own Reprint Series and made it available as a print-on-demand minicomic.
Five copies on red cardstock were printed as the 1st Danger Room reprint Ed. in June 2005.
This appears to be something that only gets published once every ten years. Perhaps I should aim for 2015 for the next round?
