your the 3rd person I had asking about issue 2 of Albedo...sorry to say by last issue was sold last week..only have issue 6&7 left now...sorry about that I will update my Albedo records.. thanks again Ken
Couple quick questions... When did you buy them? (I'm curious about how long the #2 issue was up for sale). How much did it cost you for the Albedo #2?Digitalfox wrote:I was lucky enough to find this book for sale and nabbed it pretty quick (along with an Albedo #1). A nice collection filler-inner.

WOW! Congratulations! YES, your local craft/hobby shop will have a product called BESTINE. It's an alcohol base that soaks through the price tag and dissolves the adhesive. Apply lightly with a Q-tip. It will come off within a few minutes. After use the Bestine to take off any additional goo.Digitalfox wrote: A question: Both books have a price tag sticker on their covers (knucklehead store owner!) Does anyone know a good way of removing them safely/easily?
Not a bad idea.Digitalfox wrote: Very cool, I'll give that a try. Thanks for the suggestion! I should probably try it on an expendable comic first.. maybe even take a before/after photo. There will be much crossing of fingers
No problemo! Glad to have you around Digital! I look forward to more discussions with you!Digitalfox wrote:And thanks again for your helpfulness! I'm new here, but I feel welcome already.
Not much more is known about them than what is posted on the link. Steve Gallacci was working at or had access to a t-shirt printer at that time. Actually, I think he hand screened it. He was doing a few t-shirts about that time and selling them at science fiction conventions in the Pacific Northwest. He had the great idea (or a brain hemorrhage) to silk screen the covers to Albedo #2. Each color and tone would require a separate screen, and each screen would have to be registered so the colors would not overlap or create white spaces, and the printing would be done by hand without the paper moving. It was to have been at least a 7 color print ( I actually think he told me it was 11 colors, counting the back). His ambition was to print all 2500 copies this way. He did about a dozen or so, realized the enormity of this task, and gave up. He gave me a few of those covers, not all the colors were printed on them though. They're somewhere in the quagmire of my studio or garage.Digitalfox wrote:
Since this would seem to be the right place to ask, I have one other question.
The page http://www.usagiyojimbo.com/casl/comics ... tales.html
mentions serigraph covers of Albedo #2. Is there any more information about them anywhere?
