I have a complete collection of the 36 issues originally published, but I also own a duplicate copy of issue 30, first published in 1964. This battered copy was originally owned by photographer Mark I. Chester, and it shows water damage from a fire that destroyed most of Chester's San Francisco studio in the late 1970s.
