comic-insider/enthusiasts,
...The difference
between
Fish Police #1,
and
Fish Police #1 is..
that
the first state,
of the First Printing ..
(.., apparently, for .. a couple of thousand copies, according to STEVE MONCUSE, himself. I asked and HE told ME, THEN, in the 80s. He worked at Comics & Comix, on Telegraph Ave., in Berkeley, at the time, and I was there 4.5 times a week.)
HA
{... finally captured these ifcs, with this iP.}
So, I figured I would tip-off The CGCCS.
These two 2. (i.e., Two) comic books, by S. Clay Wilson, publ. by Keith Green, in 1975-6, have identifiers, namely price, that determine .. “State”.
I mean first state, compared to first printing. Two States are:
1) printed .75 cent cvr. price, ifc.
2) printed, corrected/written-over, hand-written, “$1” price, ifc.
... more on these later.
Good Luck,
To Mollie Davis....
Thanks, Mollie Davis,
a whole heaping' helpful,
for adding this
(..., and the others)
to the list of Competitive Sets.
I really appreciate it;
