BIZARRE SEX No. 5 Oct. 1976 1st Print Kitchen Sink Comic Richard Corben Cover

Description: 1st print October 1976 has 1.00 USD cover price and says 54321 on first interior page. It's been over 40 years since Richard Corben graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute, and he is as popular as ever. This Corben cover earns a Top Twenty Underground Cover award for its depiction of female adulation. The comic itself, which converted to magazine size for issues number 5 and 6, does not quite live up to the cover, but there are a couple good stories here, including Joel Beck's "One Dong's Family." For fans of Joe Coleman (like me), you will also find a classic 5-page portfolio of his unique artwork in this issue. One amusing aspect about the painting for this cover is the extraordinary effort Richard Corben made in his composition and shadowing to obscure full frontal nudity for any of the women. Not a single labia majora to be found here! Yet the quite charming concept is seven horny and naked babes hugging and kissing a 20-foot penis! (Yeah, you can call it a giant "phallic slug" as Denis Kitchen did, but the intent is more than obvious.) HISTORICAL FOOTNOTES:There are four printings of this comic book, all by Kitchen Sink. The 1st printing (10,000 copies) has a $1.00 cover price, the 2nd and 3rd printings (5,000 copies each) also have a $1.00 cover price, and the 4th printing (unknown copies) has a $2.00 cover price. All of the printings indicate which printing they are on the inside front cover. In addition, the 4th printing changes from a magazine-size comic to a standard-size comic.
