A blonde beatnik with a beret and sunglasses instigates a subway car killing spree. When her sunglasses are removed, she stares at her captors with "the perfectly round, lidless eyes of -- A FISH!" Beatniks, and anyone outside of the mainstream, were widely viewed with ridicule and suspicion in the conformist 1950s, even in the disreputable pages of horror comics.

A deluxe limited edition of 12 hardcover catalogues is available, in addition to a small number of softcovers. 400 lots, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcover $40, deluxe hardcover with dust jacket and limitation plate $200. Eight of the 12 hardcovers are pre-ordered and the rest will go quickly, so reserve yours now.
