That was my immediate reaction too...still as one of those comics that couldn't be published today without parental protests and threats of boycotts over the insensitivity etc... I had to get myself one. In a way one could argue a story like this is more taboo now in American culture...than graphic slasher horror zombie junk or even overtly sexual stuff.

Fantastic pick up Steve!! I have always loved this multi-panel sci-fi cover. I hope one day I can get down to LA again and paw through your copy.
