Gothic Blimp Works #6 (East Village Other, 1969) Condition: NM.
<B>Gothic Blimp Works #6 (East Village Other, 1969) Condition: NM.</B></I> This typically scarce issue of <B>Gothic Blimp Works</B></I> features an uncommon treasure sure to thrill Underground collectors. It's a full-color page by Robert Crumb, "Flakey Foont in Desperation Blues" that was, to our knowledge, never reprinted in <B>The Complete Crumb Comics</B></I>. It's a great page featuring Mr. Natural; this issue also contains wild work by Gilbert Shelton, S. Clay Wilson, an early page by Bernie Wrightson, and lots more. Jerry Weist refers to these tabloid comix as extremely rare in flat unfolded condition in his 2000 <B>Comic Art Price Guide</B></I>, and assigns this issue a NM value of $125. This copy is a real beauty, flat and clean, and quite possibly the nicest copy in existence. <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.
