a mere $15.00 post paid
A limited edition printing of the original copy I discovered late 1997.
Alfredo Castelli put out an enormous amount of energy lovingly redigitizing this 40 page graphic novel - and it shows in every panel. I supply an intro describing how I learned of its existence in 1996, aquired one & then displayed it in Italy, France, and the United States to help re-write history.
As an added bonus you also get a full-color facsimile of The New York World May 5 1896 complete Sunday supplement containing the first color Yellow Kid appearance by Richard Outcault back when Yellow Kid was blue plus Opper, McDougall, etc!
