This second mini-comix THRU BLACK HOLES CATALOG reprints the cover art from several TBH titles. Of particular interest are:

cover untitled collage-drawing

Cool original illustration. The central figure is built around a collaged drawing of a carved ivory figurine from Zaire. This page was reprinted as a TBH advertisement in OUTSIDE IN Number 16 (page 11) and in REAL FUN Number 4 (page 8).

page 6 untitled collage-drawing

This is an unused version of the cover for the GHOSTS mini-comix (which was published but with a different cover).

The “Ghosts” cover pictured in the catalog was one I didn’t use from a previous time, before I saw the way the mini-comix had shaped up as one big landscape. So I used this cover as advertising art.

This nice Plain Loon illustration is reprinted (with a new background) from PLAIN LOON’S COSMIC HOUSE (page 2).
