Notes: My collection is, sadly, incomplete. I do not have the individual issues of #1-4 (yet), choosing instead to get the "Crimes and Punishments" trade paperback. Still, as these pangs of completism shoot through me (and the realization I'll never spend my money on anything important anyway), I may get those issues on my own and, soon as I do, I'll scan 'em in.
In addition, I do not have issue #12. I still haven't found it locally. I'm going to try to find it during my World Tour--if anyone between Kansas and Illinois has a copy and will be around this summer, lemme know. The World Tour just might take me through there....
Also, to save time, the thumbnails of the covers are no longer loaded on this page. The Cover Gallery loads all thumbnails (of the covers I've scanned, which're all I have), and from there you can go to any image you like. Clicking on the title of any issue takes you to its full-size cover.
