This Original First Printing comic book just emerged from a recently unearthed and long held collection of Texas material owned by a long time resident and participant of the Austin music scene!

This comic book includes articles about the AWHQ’s staff & family and additional artwork by Kerry Awn - frontman for the venue’s early house band the Uranium Savages. There are also several interesting articles about how to stalk and capture a real live Armadillo! This is issue #1 and was only printed once. 100% Original with no restoration!
