Editor and publisher DALE LUCIANO invited MICHAEL RODEN to contribute to this top-notch anthology zine at the urging of mutual friend ANDY NUKES. There are two editions of this issue. The first printing (marked “FIRST EDITION.” on the inside front cover) was published in November 1984. The second printing (marked “SECOND PRINTING 8/86” on the inside front cover) was published in August 1986.

This is one of several panels that were constructed around the anthropomorphic insect engravings of the great French caricaturist and illustrator GRANDVILLE (Jean-Ignace-Isodore Gerard). The astute observer will note the characteristic MICHAEL RODEN night sky and the imaginative combination of collage elements from diverse sources.

Other noteworthy contributions include:
