Item description from seller

This comic book is in Very Good condition and was issued without a dust jacket. This is a first printing with San Francisco Comic Book Co. 3339 23rd St. S. F. Calif, 94110 on the copyright notation on the inside front cover, and 15 Shattuck Square #204, Berkeley, 94704 on the bottom edge of the rear cover. The comic covers have some light generalized fading (both front and rear) , and there is some light ground-in dirt to the rear covers. The text pages are clean, but there is light, generalized toning. "Though horror and violence had already surfaced in some undergrounds (e. G. , Bogeyman) , nothing compared to Skull Comix #1, which featured the decapitation of a naked woman and zombies on peyote, and those were mere harbingers of what was to come. Skull explored all manner of the horror genre, from interpreting the classic writings of Edgar Allan Poe to modern elucidations and hallucinations. Skull didn't venture quite so extensively as its spiritual compatriot Slow Death, so it might not be considered as broadly entertaining, but it mined the traditional horror genre unlike any other anthology in the underground. The macabre tales of H. P. Lovecraft were prominently featured in the fourth and fifth issues of the series. The series finale in issue #6 featured a gruesome, marvelous full-length epic of horror by Tom Veitch, illustrated in two parts by Greg Irons and Richard Corben." (from Underground Comix Collection).…
