Laugh in the Dark #1, 1st Printing, August 1971, Last Gasp, Underground Comic, Near Mint Condition Stories and Art by Kim Deitch, Rory Hayes, Manuel Spain Rodriguez, Bill Griffith, S. Clay Wilson, Justin Green, Larry Fuller, George Metzger, Michael McMillian, and Willie Mendes. Ron Turner Publisher, Features an origin story of Justin Green’s Binky Brown. 44 pages, full color. MATURE READERS. NOTE: There are two known printings, however due the dubious and subjective nature of the difference between the two printings (a purple-ish hued cover vs. a blue-ish hued cover) we have chosen not to differentiate between the two printings. Please reference the unique scan of the item you are purchasing if you are concerned with which printing you will receive. Cover price $0.50.This 44-page underground was originally supposed to be Bogeyman #4, but Last Gasp or somebody figured it would be better under a different title. Regardless, this is a terrific and gruesome but often funny underground-style horror comic featuring Rory Hayes (of course), Kim Deitch, Spain, Bill Griffith, S. Clay Wilson and Justin Green, among others.One of Green’s contributions is one of his best Binky Brown stories. The four-page « The Agony of Binky Brown » is like a condensed origin story for Green’s signature character. It’s a practical yet powerful tale, relating the odd influences of Binky’s youth and his inability to rationalize them out of his fervent (and clinically neurotic) mind. The key contributors also collaborate on « Bimbo’s Private Fun-House, » which stands as one of the better jams in underground history.HISTORICAL FOOTNOTES: There are two printings of this comic book, both by Last Gasp and both with 50-cent cover prices. The 1st printing (20,000 copies) has a predominantly blue background on the front cover art. The 2nd printing (10,000 copies) has a predominantly purple background on the front cover art.

Minowtcomic https://www.ebay.com/usr/minowtcomic OUR STORY – While living in Greenwich Village in the sixties. There was a little store off Bleecker that specialized in underground comics. Every Friday afternoon after work, I’d go there to see what was the latest version just hitting the shelves. With several of my hippy friends grooving, and laughing over Comics, we’d sit around that smoke-filled room, sometimes late into the night. Fast forward, some fifty years later – my wife and I discovered some old cardboard boxes hidden behind junk in the back of our storage locker. It was a dry, cool place and the hundreds of underground comics that had only been read once, were in beautiful condition. It felt like we discovered a pot of gold. We wrote to dozens of book and comic stores with a list of our inventory. They said, there was no interest, no market and offered us little to nothing for the collection. We explained to them that these were complete sets, first editions. To the retail outlets they were worthless, but to us they were priceless. Now we offer them on E-Bay and the collectors are grabbing them up, at our more than fair and reasonable prices. Many we had universally certified with CGC, so you’ll know we’re trustworthy, reliable and have the best of service. Just check the feedback and reviews to know we’re honest and responsible. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and hope you buy them now while they still are available. First come, first serve. Thank you again for your time and interest.
