You could pick it up at just about any book store in New York in the early 80's, well before Watchmen or DKR hit the shelves.adampaszhttp://www.pasz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-60425195120387213422013-11-23T15:18:24.787-06:002013-11-23T15:18:24.787-06:00As an aside, before going to SPACE in 2005, I foun...As an aside, before going to SPACE in 2005, I found a first edition of High Society that had its cover still fully glued on. My first copy of it (a later edition) had most of its cover loose for years. I asked Dave to sign the first edition at SPACE and he wrote "congratulations on finding a first edition with its cover intact". Apparently, that was a major hurdle in starting up the printing of the phone books, as High Society, not Cerebus, was the first phone book.Jeff Seilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543690118315946039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-18178017476593089212013-11-23T13:08:56.646-06:002013-11-23T13:08:56.646-06:00I don't think those were ignored:
