Title: What's this one?
Post by: 50Cent #II (1st print) on March 15, 2008, 01:12:01 AM
There's one tabloid size comic in this lot, looks like Rand Holms' Harold Hedd lying on grass leaning against a tree with white hair, states "LIKE TO" on it.  I don't recognize it, anyone know?  I'm guessing it might be the back cover of Harold Hedd #1, but since I don't have a copy I don't know for sure.  The description states "The Collected Adventures of Harold Hedd", is this the full title of the comic, it's not listed this way in the FUG or Kennedy.

I thought that looked familiar to me.  That's the back cover of The Collected Adventures of Harold Hedd #1 (http://sirrealcomix.mrainey.com/page/h/HaroldHedd01-1.htm).  You are correct in your assumption.

except for the Harold Hedd, which is a first, I believe. Look at the close-up at the lower half of the book, it's stamped "Canada". I believe only the Georgia Straight 1st printing is stamped that way. Also, as 50 mentioned, Harold had silver hair on the back cover, I believe in the later printings, it is brown like the picture Sir Real posted.

You're right, Bro J. Looks like a first. But bear in mind, the seller says the "cover is torn, spine is torn." It appears to be a bit weather-beaten.

exactly, Harold Hedd #1 is a tough one to find in nice condition, almost every copy I've come across has been folded like a newspaper, which totally trashes it.

Don't know why the listing got pulled.
