Scarce early ALS signed “Crumbs!,” one page, 8.5 x 11, no date but circa April 1968. Letter to publisher Woody Gelman of Nostalgia Press, Inc., in full: "I'm sending you the 25 copies of Zap Comics. The bill is 25 x .15 / 125 25 / $3.75 / It's selling really well out here. Sold 3500 copies already! We're almost out of the first printing but will go into 2nd printing soon. Mike McInerny never got in touch with me. Should I write to him? Maybe I will. I'd love to get distribution in New York. Think we could sell a lot of copies there! My partner in this venture, one Don Donahue, is buying a multi-lith press. We have big plans! Lots of stuff in the works! Did you give a 'Zap' to Bob Stewart? Like to hear his opinion…Everything going well with the book. Finished front and back cover last weeks. Looks good! By the way! Dana had a baby boy April 1st! Incredible! These are great days for me! Danie sends her love!" In very good to fine condition, with creasing and staple holes. Accompanied by Gelman's reply, dated April 20, 1968, in part: "Congrats on the boy!! I feel like he was in our house. I'm enclosing $3.75…I showed the books (Zap) to…and Art Spiegelman—they love it."
