MONTANA, Peg and Jeff Cuddy

Published by no publisher], [No place, 1976

Oblong 16mo. Spiral bound paper and cardboard wrappers with tipped-on elements on the front. 24pp. An artist sketch book repurposed to serve as a prospectus for a new comic strip written by Peg Montana, wife of *Archie* creator Bob Montana, along with his art assistant Jeff Cuddy, following Bob's sudden death in 1975. The prospectus consists of photomechanically produced cover and interior illustrations with a single strip mounted on the verso of each page, along with a slogan, fact or pithy comment about the strip's appeal. The inside front wrap also has two mounted tipped-in paper slips, one summarizing the strip and the other listing Cuddy's address in Manchester, New Hampshire. The strip's humor was came from the alien's observations and misinterpretation of Earth culture. Our research turned up no evidence that the strips was published outside of a brief showing in a small newspaper in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, which may have been its only appearance in print. A unique survivor. Seller Inventory # 431914
