Wrappers, stapled, with a kraft paper dust jacket featuring torn-out-and-mounted titles and a design decorated with fabric cut-outs. The book is bound with a hessian twine. Text and illustrations mimeographed on kraft paper; illustrations and titles hand-illuminated. Includes a ‘comic strip’ folded like an accordion and held together with a strip of paper (in the style of the ‘scrolls’ from Revista de Vigía). Most of the contributors to this first issue are aged 15 or under. The illustrations by Arístides Vega are very apt. Issue 53 of a print run of 200 copies. A very fine copy. Very rare.
