<B>Gothic Blimp Works #3 (East Village Other, 1969) Condition: NM-.</B></I> For collectors searching for art by Underground legend Robert Crumb, it doesn't get much better than this. This is the third issue of the New York-based <B>Gothic Blimp Works</B></I>, a tabloid featuring the cream of the crop of Underground cartoonists (like Vaughn Bode, Kim Deitch, Jay Lynch, and more). Hard to find in its day, they are nearly impossible to locate now, especially in high grade. Noted as "extremely rare" in flat, unfolded condition by Jerry Weist in his 2000 <B>Comic Art Price Guide</B></I>, these papers were printed on the lowest-quality pulp newsprint available; most surviving copies have been stored folded and are found ragged and brittle. This one is a gem. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
