A circle in pen around an amusing blurb announcing the next issue ("It's really pregnant with the newest in Today's Poetry & Prose - and still in heat").The run of The Outsider lasted for only five issues (the final issue comprising Numbers 4 and 5), perhaps owing to the vast effort each issue required.
