1st printing: ?; Second printing: November 1968. It was also published in hardcover which is listed separately.

Viking Press did not want to publish further editions due to the subject matter. The next two printings were by Ballantine. An expanded edition was published in 1988 by Simon & Schuster.

Certain panels in this edition were slightly altered by the publisher, to Crumb's displeasure. Three of the stories were edited for content- "Life Among the Constipated," "Abstract Expressionist Ultra Super Modernistic Comics" and "Hey Boparee Bop." The first story was edited for racial language, the second story has a single censored panel while the latter has missing panels. Details in the respective story notes.
