50Cent #II (1st print)

Here's an interesting one, after receiving my copy of Underground Digest #2 (March 1967) with the 2 R. Crumb pieces, I started looking for a #1 (February 1967), even though I've been told it probably doesn't contain any UG art (would be nice to complete the set of only 2 issues).  So I found a copy of Underground Press Digest #1 that I thought might be it, but it turns out that this periodical is from January 1971.  Turns out that this #1 has R. Crumb art in it also, and is also out of New York, but is a different publication.  Turns out this UgPD might have only had 2 issues too.  From what I understand it appears the Underground Digest #1 (February 1967) doesn't contain R. Crumb art, but issue #2 (March 1967) does.  Then the Underground Press Digest #1 (January 1971) contains R. Crumb art (hasn't arrived yet, so not sure which piece, the 24 panel "Head Comix" is stated, as well as a Joel Beck strip), and that there might have been a #2 (March 1971) from this series that doesn't contain R. Crumb art.
I had thought that I had found a new R. Crumb piece from 1971 that had not been documented before after looking in the R. Crumb Checklist and Crumb-ology Supplement (I don't have the original book yet), but it was located in the CounterMedia issue with the R. Crumb Checklist Supplement.

Here's a pic., I'll update when it arrives (for the Wiki)

This UgPD #1 with a 60 cent cover price contains articles reprinted from almost all the big Counter Culture tabloids.

What, exactly, is on the left side of that photo? It looks frightening.

Received this item today, want to post two pages that contains UG artwork (there is a few others by Adams and Dallas Notes, but since I don't recognize that name...)

Here's a clear scan of the cover:
