The Profit #1 (Gobroke Press, 1966) Condition: FN.
<B>The Profit #1 (Gobroke Press, 1966) Condition: FN.</B></I> Joel Beck's <B>The Profit</B></I> is one of the first Underground comics. <B>The Profit</B></I> was the third book done by Beck; at the time, the term Underground had not been created. Beck was part of a loose group of cartoonists who got their start on college campuses across the country during the early-to-mid 1960s. Everything came to a head (so to speak) with the publication of Robert Crumb's <B>Zap Comix</B></I> #1 in February, 1968. Shortly after, Joel Beck began to get his due, and his pioneering efforts like this began to climb in value. Here is offered a nice, mid-grade copy of a particularly tough item to find. Jerry Weist, in his 2000 <B>Comic Art Price Guide</B></I> section on Undergrounds, gives this a value of $150 in FN. <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.
