ULTRA
KLUTZ #1
6/81; Standard Comic
Klutz Enterprises
My first self-published comic, inspired by
the underground comics of ten years previous.
Amateurishly funny, yet decidedly raunchy. There are no
plans for reprinting this book, although it should not be
too difficult to track down considering the 10,000 copy
print run, most of which went into the hands of
collectors in the mid-80s. ULTRA KLUTZ AND OTHER TALES
#1-5
12/84 - 12/85; Photocopy digest-sized
comics
Klutz Enterprises
Unlike the "underground"
version, this re-tooled all-ages version of the series
used the more humble photocopy digest format to gain a
following and obtain feedback. Circulation of 200 to 500
per issue, mainly to local comics chain stores and
experimental distributors. Back-up stories by other
artists.
ULTRA KLUTZ #1-31
6/86 - 5/91; Standard Comic
Onward Comics
The first five issues reprint the
photocopy digest comics then move on to new material.
Monthly for the first two years, then bi-monthly until a
year-long hiatus in 88-89. Issues 28-31
erratically published afterward. Back-up stories by other
artists. Circulation of 18,000 on first issue followed by
regular drops to 10,000 - 5,000 - 3,000, etc. during
first two years, ultimately reaching hobby-level sales of
1,500 by issue #27.
