50Cent #II (1st print)

Freak Brothers #1 (equal amount of each cover printed because 2 covers were printed on one sheet,  but since the Kennedy Guide noted that "A" as the first print, the "A" has become more scarce and is considered more valuable in the same condition.  Note that from the 2nd print to approx. the 16th print these covers may have been printed 2 on one sheet and one of the covers on the sheet had a scratch along the top of the cover.)

(1st print "A" 1971) .50 (UGComix.info 1st print "A" & JK 1st print)
(front with Purple 50 cent, Grey Tire & Orange square) (Now known as probably 1/4)

(1st print "B" 1971) .50 (UGComix.info 1st print "B" & JK 2nd print)
(front with Purple 50 cent, Grey Tire & no Orange Square) (Now known as probably 3/4)


(back with Black flag)

#4
FB #1 (5th print [6th]) .50 (UGComix.info & JK 4th print) (almost identical to JK & UGComix 6th print, but note the 2 tone [green/purple] sky, this more likely might be the printing after the green tint JK 5th, not before.)

(front with Blue 50 cent, Cross Hatching on ground added, Light Cross-Hatching added to Tire, & Blue Cross-Hatching added to above Police Clubs)


(back with Blue Flag with White Dots)

50Cent #II (1st print)

#5
FB #1 (6th print [5th]) .50 (UGComix & JK 5th print) Notice that JK didn't find the "3rd print" with the green tint before, so this likely is the first blue .50 version and the JK 4th print followed this one, especially since the JK 4th & 6th prints are almost identical.)

(found a copy of the JK 4th)
