Description:
MA./Seattle: Kitchen Sink/Fantagraphics, 1995. First Printings . Paper. Set in the suburbs of Seattle during the mid-1970s, the comics follow a group of mostly middle class teenagers who, over the summer, contract a mysterious sexually transmitted disease known as "the Bug" or "the teen plague", which causes them to develop bizarre unique physical mutations, turning them into social outcasts. It was published as a 12-issue comic book limited series between 1995 and 2004. The first four issues were released by Kitchen Sink Press; after Kitchen Sink went out of business, Fantagraphics republished the first four issues and the remaining eight. A compiled hardcover volume was released by Pantheon Books in 2005. 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…

Milano: Max Bunker Press, 1989. Softcover. Illustrated by Magnus (Roberto Raviola). The set reprints the first thirty-six issues of the series which were originally published in the 1960s. Kriminal is considered one of the first noir comics to appear in Italy together with Diabolik; the light eroticism which transpired from some of the stories created censorship problems for the authors. The average condition for the set is very good to near fine with light foxing to edges and very moderate shelf wear; one issue has a pen marking on front cover. In the Italian language. A nice set.; 12 x 17 cm.
