Title: Pirate

Here's a funny little comic I've only heard about.  Unfortunately, I've only seen a digital copy.  It is a very real comic, and obviously pirated.  There is no publishing info on it at all, and no indicia.  This is the cover...

I've also made contact sheets of all the pages.  You can see there are a variety of artists, and all the stories look lifted from existing comix.

Contact Sheet #4 (http://sirrealcomix.mrainey.com/remote/forum/FBContactSheet-004.jpg)

Just curious to see if anyone here actually owns this.

There is a g copy for sale for $250 on abe. Now that I know what it is, I wouldn't buy it anywhere near hat price.

Digital copies are dangerous. Every single story of Richard Corben comics has been translated in Spanish. There's in internet a pack of CD's to cover them all. I've got a snail mail from a Spanish Corben fan one day to have them toasted on several CD's. Some special stories were a bit strange looking. The further looking reveals to me that those stories were never printed. Somebody (a fan) scan the originals in, translated them in Spanish and typed the text by himself (or themselves). There exists also several Corben art print books. They look real but were actually never printed. I spent hours and hours with those "digital stories" to find out which print they are taken from, until I realize that they were only digital versions built up by fans.

About Fuckbook. From where originally are taken Robert Crumb picts on page 11 (On Ice) and 99 (Winter Fun). They were reprinted in Finnish comix (covers) and I'd like to put link for source comix there.

Thank you.

The only origins I know for "Orgasm on Ice" and "Winter Fun" are Snatch #2, pages 17 & 33 respectively.
