MA./Seattle: Kitchen Sink/Fantagraphics, 1995. First Printings . Paper.

This collected edition, however, lacks many pages that were included in the first publication- the ones that showed some characters' faces. These pages are considered by some critics to be essential. This is a complete pristine as new collection of all 12 issues and are all…
