Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Richards, Ted. Dopin Dan. Last Gasp, 1972 [c. 1974]. Later Printing.
A copy of the underground comic book Dopin Dan, written and illustrated by Ted Richards. This is a staple-bound softcover pamphlet, identified as a later printing (likely the third, circa 1974) by the 1.00 dollar cover price appearing in a speech bubble on the front cover. The front cover features a color illustration of a paratrooper in military fatigues smoking a cigarette, with the exhaled smoke forming the shape of a blue bird. The artist signature Ted Richards is printed on the right side. A logo featuring the letter C inside a stylized bomb, associated with publisher Last Gasp, appears in the lower-left corner. The back cover contains a full-color multi-panel comic strip titled Jacket the Junkie by Ted Richards, featuring Vietnam War-era soldiers in conversation. The work is a notable example of the underground comix movement, known for its countercultural themes and military satire.
Condition report:
The comic displays signs of age and handling consistent with use. Visible characteristics include light toning to the paper and several spine stress creases along the left edge. There is minor edge wear at the corners and light rubbing to the pictorial covers. No significant tears or missing pages are observed from the exterior.
