I gave away my extra #1 a year or two ago.  I have extras of #5, but that's it.

What's on the cover of comic number 1 and 4?  Which issues are they?

Comic #1 is the small postcard sized book, with a dark purple Halloweenish cover.  Jay Lynch Hairy Mane story and art.

Comic #4 is Groundhog Daze, with an orangish cover.  Brent Engstrom art.

Why isn't #1 the same size as 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6?

Good question Mark! The reason for the different size is that comic #1 was designed around the fantastic sketch cards that Jay did for the Halloween set and we developed the comic as a supplement to the Halloween postcards (which were 4.25" x 6"). From there, the books evolved into stand-alone, full size books with new art and stories.

I always like to look at it as Comic # 1 is the missing link between postcards and comics.  From there they evolved into full fledged comics.

And Issue #2 finished the transition in that sketches from that book were included in the 2012 Halloween Postcard sets, but the book changed to full size.
