The difference between Fish Police #1, and Fish Police #1

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

J. x: The Difference .. between 2..

{... 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,

Ultimately

5 out of 10 is really good. Ultimately, five out of ten is REALLY good.   I was pleasantly surprised to find this submission of mine, in which grades, that is, 2 - 9.4s, 3 - 9.6s, and 5 - 9.8s, is.. really good, I think. !Sheesh! I bought these when I was just twenty-one! (NOPE. ...was not at a bar.) and now, well.. you do the math.

I preserved these for a reason. (..to live, not to die.) Now, I have four G-Ls-O-D.... Three are manufacturer's errors (guts set upside down and backwards, and two without [certain] inks), the last is signed/dated by Gilbert Shelton and Paul Mavrides (with cartoons), which I, as well as Rory Root, witnessed.
