Yes, here's the issue that started it all... one more time! If you have not yet been able to get a copy of this historic issue due to price issues, or if you're just looking for an excuse to read this issue again, it's now in stock here at Copacetic.
This was/is billed by Fantagraphics as a "facsimile edition", and some of the early images released had it with the original $2.95 cover price (with, presumably, the correct/actual $7.99 price on the back cover by the UPC), but the copies we have received sport a $7.99 cover price. Also, just FYI, the inside front cover indicia states that this is the "Fifth printing", but it may actually be the sixth. It does list "January 2026" as the publication date – and, of course, there's the $7.99 cover price – so there's no chance of it ever being confiused with the an earlier printing, regardless.
BEM!
