This is not the glossy released magazine. THIS is the original layout pencils and the original black-and-white proof copy with corrections noted. Have you ever wondered about the beginnings of a magazine? These two items show you. First item is a smaller version that was the very birth of the mag with hand drawn layouts by editor/publisher Ron Adams that had a color copy of the cover taped up front. Then page-by-page layout design. The second item is a black and white photo copy of the semi-finished magazine with hand notations for corrections, spelling, grammar, etc. Comes bagged and boarded for the serious collector of MONSTER BASH magazine.
