Above is an extremely rare UK version of Zap Comics no.0 that is currently on sale on eBay – there’s virtually no info on this anywhere on the web but there it is. There’s a version of Zap no.1 from the UK but this edition of #0 never comes up. Look at the 2/6 price too, that dates it, below is a retooled top half of an inside page that fits with the country of origin better than the original featured below. Below that is the original, full colour cover on all the American printings.
Below is another bootleg, no publisher, possibly a German 2nd edition but of which issue I’ve no idea and no other info on this one. These versions may be a result of an agreement with publishers back in the 60s and 70s whereby all comic material printed by the underground press was allowed to be reprinted in different countries or states.
UPDATE: Here’s one with a colour cover too, same country of origin.
Knockabout Comics‘ Tony Bennett talks a bit about this in the recent podcast I took part in, The Bureau of Lost Culture, where we talk about his adventures in alternative culture publishing from the 70s onwards.
UPDATE: – this one doesn’t actually exist but I couldn’t resist adding it – by Marcatti (Brazil)
And here’s Jim Rugg‘s variant cover for Ed Piskor‘s Red Room #5
UPDATE 2: The internet has a habit of throwing up all sorts of interesting things when searching and here’s a version of Zap no.1’s cover that Crumb drew before the issue was lost and later became Zap 0 (long story, look it up). The original artwork, with colour separations was up for auction some years back and I’ve comped them together to form a version of what the first issue would have looked like.
Here’s also a blue print variant of the first issue of Zap that I’d never seen before and original art for an alternate take on Zap no.2 that was never used.
