Description:
[Newark, Delaware:] The Burning Bush Press,, 1979. In New York City, no one will listen when you scream First edition, signed limited issue, number 107 of 170 copies signed by the author on the limitation page. Rogers wrote and illustrated the book while a student at Pt Pleasant Beach High School in New Jersey. The story is an urban-fantasy set in New York City, influenced by the Ragnarök prophecy. It was adapted into a film in 1990 by Willard Carroll. This slim chapbook was the first publication from Burning Bush press, the layout and typing completed by Ernest H. Bush. This is a lovely example of early indie publishing. An additional 15 were produced for review, and another limitation numbered I - XV were held for the author's for presentation. Octavo. Original wire-stitched wrappers. A little toning to wrappers, small ink marks to rear wrapper: a near-fine copy.
