3rd printing. Stories and Art by Greg Irons, Richard Corben and Jack Jackson. Cover by Gilbert Shelton. Classic Underground Horror/Humor comic inspired by classic EC Comic Tales. 7-in. x 10 1/4-in., 36 pages, B&W, MATURE READERS NOTE: Printings VERY difficult to determine. The 3rd printing has one change in the indicia, the Shattuck address has been changed to Post Office Box 212. It appears that a photocopy of the address from the back cover has been used to make this change, as the lettering is identical. Note that there is no comma after 212. Also note that the change in address has caused the comma from the previous address to disappear and the "B" in Berkeley to have a skinnier vertical stroke than in the previous two printings. This is due to the new paste-up slightly overlapping the original comma and the "B" in the layout. All other elements from the 2nd printing remain the same. Cover price $0.50.
