METZGER, GEORGE — Moondog #3

Berkeley, CA: The Print Mint, 1973. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Comic. Illustrated by George Metzger. B&W Illustrations; This is a trade sized comic book with illustrated covers and a stapled spine. The spine ends and corners of the comic covers have some beginning bumping and rubbing. There are two light creases to the front corners of the covers. The text pages are clean and bright, though there is some light generalized toning. "Obsessively drawing every night, Metzger could be found at his drawing board while friends gathered and talked around him. In the early days of the original Star Trek, Metzger and several friends would gather every Wednesday evening to watch. Always a guest at the hippest parties in the Bay Area, he often carried a flask of brandy in his back pocket for all to share. He was friendly with the underground artists of the day, plus many Bay Area bluegrass and country musicians, as well as the Grateful Dead. His best known creation is Moondog, a science-fantasy series notable for its sophisticated art and elaborate imaginative framework. Published by the Print Mint, it ran from 1969 until 1973. It has no connection with the character Moondog in the comic strip Monty. " (from Wikipedia). Very Good .
