I've had mine in the store for sometime . . . I suspect I should lower the price to around $15 . . . but they are pretty cool mags and even the later ones that I have are limited to runs of 750.

Anyway . . . I have never seen the Issue you have, so I can't honestly say if the combs were put there by the publisher or a previous owner.  However, I suspect that it is quite rare and that everyone who wants a copy knows exactly what it is . . .  just as the Acaeum is all over any Woody that comes up for auction!

I would suggest ebay and see where the auction goes!  Have fun!

The story is titled "Casonetto's Last Song".

If the issue you have displayed contains that story then I would say it is the first issue.
