You are bidding on 1 great looking copies of Bronze Age Freak Brothers #1 by R.I.P. Off Press. These comics were produced for 'the twisted mind' and are recommended for Mature Audiences. They were an interesting underground comic and are still being collected today.
There are many printing variations of this comic book, though there are many more that cannot be distinguished from one another. Kennedy's Price Guide states there were many printings. But to some degree the printing differences are well established without controversy. But the following describes the easily identified print variations:

While I'm not a professional grader, I do use standards from the Overstreet Price Guide.
You, dear watcher, can check out the photos to see what great shape these comics are in. The photo section should be viewed as part of the description.
Freak Brothers was a true hit at its time and getting ahold of early issues is a wise investment. Get them while you can.
These would be a welcome additions to any collection.
Bid wisely....you can't find these easily at your local comic shop.
