50Cent #II (1st print)

Anyone have these and what's your opinion if you do?  Came out 1989-90 and #5 has a Robt. Williams cover.  These came out in response to Al Gore's wife's push to get sex and violence out of the media...

I used to have some of those. They're more independent than anything else.

i got number 5.
it got a Scott Jackson, a Don Roberts Story and a R. Williams Cover.
At my copy the Yellow at the Cover is Printed inverted.
Did every Copy get this mistake?

Slabbing Undergrounds is sacrilege.

The phrase "Action 1 of the Undergrounds"
makes my skin crawl.

50Cent #II (1st print)

It's a continuation of the front, it's a front and back cover painting by RW.

What i mean is -
Is the yellow we see on the front, suposed to be on the back?
Is that what you ment by "inverted"
Or maybe the yellow is from an earlier issue?

yes that is right.
that is  what i mean with inverted. i think the yellow printing plate is right-left reversed.

I found 2 other scans of this online. both with the yellow misprint.
One at MileHigh.
So maybe it's suposed to be that way.  (shrug)

It's a shame this series ended with #5, not sure if the company went out of business or low sales caused a cancellation. The reason I say it's a shame is because according to the text piece on the inside cover of #5, #6 and #7 would have also had Robert Williams' covers.
