There's a Zap Comix #0 that's listed as a 1st edition. Sent a message that it's not a first print. Their response: That they bought it them self on Haight Ashbury in 1967. Seems odd when it's an obvious later printing and the first print wasn't printed until later 1968, so this would have been printed in 1969 or later.

I asked a seller if a Doctor Who DVD was region 1,
(the stock photo looked like the British design)

his response was: really dont know about that
Needless to say, I didn't bid.

A lot of the sellers on Abe are no better. Here's a copy of Zap #2 that was recently listed:

Book Description: Apex Novelties Pub. 1968,inner cvoe, 1968. 1st ptg THUS. Illustrated by Cartoon art,color cover. (illustrator). 1st Edition. art-antique 6x9" Paper Covers 52pages colorful cover shows pink mans face with pinball words & stars coming out from face. YELLOW & BLUE COVER. old cover pr ice 75C BOUND WTH 2 STAPLES.Old copy. Good Cond,back cover minor soil. covers rubbed,rumpled.

So, they've indicated that it's a first printing, twice (1st ptg THUS and 1st Edition), and it would seem that this conclusion has been drawn because it has an "old" cover price of $0.75? Then, again, it indicated that it's an "old" copy. I suppose the logic is that if something is old, it's the first printing. End of discussion.

What these useless excuses for human beings don't understand is that all their details are available through ebay. Yes ebay will tell us where they live and with such details we can go to their house and seed their gardens with plants that smell like cat pee. If they weren't such idiots we wouldn't be forced to go to such extreme lengths to make them pay for their ignorance.






What if this were heaven, wouldn't it be Hell?
