(Los Angeles), (Self-published), (1983). A very early production by the creator of The Simpsons, preceding his first book by a year. This is a limited edition identified as a 1984 edition, copyrighted in 1983, with holiday and new year greetings on the copyright page. Number 4 of 100 numbered copies signed by the author on the front cover. Created and compiled by Groening, it includes comics from his "Life in Hell" strip as well as a number of his fictional "Sound Mix" columns of music reviews, a "Letters" section that may or may not be invented by the author (it probably is) and various other comic inventions, including ads, etc. A rare edition by the groundbreaking comic artist; we have never seen another offered for sale. Slight edge sunning; still fine in stapled wrappers. [#029388] SOLD
