MA./Seattle: Kitchen Sink/Fantagraphics, 1995. First Printings . Paper.

It was published as a 12-issue comic book limited series between 1995 and 2004. The first four issues were released by Kitchen Sink Press; after Kitchen Sink went out of business, Fantagraphics republished the first four issues and the remaining eight.

This is a complete pristine as new collection of all 12 issues and are all…
