Even the Last Gasp stuff is comparatively low print. Marvel and DC print runs in those days was in 100,000's while the average for Ug's is 5-10K.

something that struck me is why Fogel goes by 9.4 for NM and OS goes by 9.2. Isn't a high grade Ug a lot less likely with the low print runs? I would think 9.0 would be a better choice?

What do you consider a low print run? For Last Gasp stuff that was printed in batches of 10-20,000 copies, 9.4 seems fair. When you're talking about something that was printed once, thirty years ago, in a run of 500, 9.0 is much more realistic.

I'm confused. (big surprise)
Isn't the grade a mesure of quality?

What does the print run (quantity) have to do wjth it?

The low print runs comparatively mean less likely a chance to come across higher grade copies is what I was implying.

LCD: Kieron Drwyer's Lowest Comic Denominator #0 (1st print), 0 (2nd print), 1, 2, 3 by Fogelcomix / Prodical Turd Productions and the ashcans (at least #1 & 2) by Prodical Turd Productions / Sound 'n' Fury Graphics.

Update: Found it actually under "Kieron Drwyer's...", but I think this is an error as the indica states "LCD: Kieron..."

One I just found.

Wimmen's Comix #12 is $2.50 (not $2) cover price and is in 3-D.

Image #5 and 6 should denote Mag. size.

Fark Comix #1 isn't listed.

EggsAckley · July 30, 2008, 04:26:48 PM

Fleshapoids from Earth is not listed (hopefully nobody mentioned that before)

Reverend · July 30, 2008, 04:44:50 PM

You could just go through Kennedy and match it, entry for entry. There are hundreds that still aren't listed or mentioned in this thread.

EggsAckley · July 30, 2008, 06:05:39 PM

I think that would be a waste of time, since some of the entrys have limited appeal. I mentioned Fleshapoids from Earth because it is a Dave Geary book from 1974 that is very collectible in my opinion. Certainly more so than Anal Intruders from Uranus that is listed in the FUG.

Reverend · July 30, 2008, 07:33:17 PM

Limited appeal? I suppose it's a matter of opinion, but I know what you're saying. As far as I'm concerned, just about any listing in Kennedy is more appealing that the hundreds of generic porn titles listed in FUG.

gotta agree with that. I like porn just as much as the next guy, but most of the Eros crap really doesn't belong, IMO.

EggsAckley · July 30, 2008, 08:41:54 PM

Limited appeal to the masses (not to us enlightened folk), but did the porn listings really help Fogel sales? Maybe it got him a couple of more ads? It just did not appeal to me at all. Maybe he did it to distance his work more from Kennedy. Anyone here ever talk to him about this?.

Reverend · July 30, 2008, 08:42:06 PM

I honestly have to wonder how many people out there actually collect titles such as Blowjob and Dildo. And for those who do, do they really want to know how much they're worth? I just can't see the vast majority of those sorts of titles ever being worth much more than cover price.

EggsAckley · July 30, 2008, 08:44:03 PM

Good point, going through the FUG it appears that most of those titles are priced in NM at cover price.
