Albedo #5 print run

Post by tru2gzus »

Hi all,
I just won an auction for Albedo 5 with the Nilson story. Does anyone know what the print run is?

On the Dojo for Albedo 2 it says:
Print Runs for issues 1-5 of Albedo Vol. 1:

Albedo NR 1 (5-color cover) June 1984 - 500 Copies
Albedo NR 1 (4-color cover) September 1984 - 1500 copies
Albedo NR 2 November 1984 - 2000 copies
Albedo NR 3 May 1985 - 10,000 copies
Albedo NR 4 August 1985 - 6000 copies

But, #5's run was never listed. Thanks for any help!

Hi! I’m new here. I got started in comics with Steve Gallacci’s Albedo back in 1986. I’ve been following Usagi ever since.

I believe I can help you with your request. Mr. Gallacci published collections of Albedo’s “Erma Felna” stories in books titled “Command Review.” In them he collected four issues worth of stories along with the publishing history of the original issues. (There is no Stan Sakai content in these books.)

From Command Review Vol. 2, copyright August, 1987 Steven A. Gallacci. Published by Thoughts & Images, Seattle, WA:

ALBEDO nr. 5
, OCTOBER, 1985. 7000 COPIES, WITH A STAN SAKAI “NILSON GROUNDTHUMPER” 10-PAGE BACK-UP STORY.
