Comic Books
This section includes issue number, publication month and year as
listed in the indicia (this date often differs from the on-sale date),
and complete contents for each issue of DC's three comic-book
format titles: Lloyd Llewellyn (4/86-12/88), The All-New Lloyd Llewellyn
Special (12/88), and Eightball (10/89-6/04). These comics' letters pages and ads feature DC art and
lettering done specifically for each issue.
The information in [] refers to the page count and indicates if the entry was printed in black and white (b/w) or color (c).
These comics were published by Fantagraphics - all issues are out of print.
Lloyd Llewellyn (4/86 - 12/88) (LL)
Each issue has DC illustrations and lettering
that appear on the contents and letters page; these are unique to
the issue
and have never been reprinted. Ads with DC art/lettering are listed below, while
non-DC ads are not.
The first entry under
each issue title refers to the inside front cover. Entries
on the same line appear on the same page.
All issues are b/w with color covers by DC; the back covers are non-DC ads.
[For a simplified list that includes only the story contents of
each LL issue, please see
here.]

Eightball (8/89 - 6/04) (E)
Most E issues exist in multiple printings. Differences between printing
are typically visible only in
the indicia
(where the print number is
given), the cover price (though different printings of an issue
sometimes have
the same price), and/or DC's mailing address, which changed in 1994. Indicia for
#1-10 are typeset; indicia for
#11-13 and #15-23 are handwritten (#14 has no
indicia). Each indicia includes two dates: the first is the
publication/'cover
date' - the second is the printing date. A few typeset indicias have incorrect
dates.
Stories that are part of a
larger collected story are identified by an abbreviation for
the collection title followed by the chapter #:
Like a Velvet Glove Cast in
Iron (LVG); Pussey! (P); Ghost World
(GW); David Boring (DB). Issues
1 through 21 generally
have at least one DC drawn ad unique to it. The ad in 22 is
incorporated into the last story, and 23 has no ad. Most issues
have a letters page (except for 1, 10, 13, 22, and 23) that is hand-lettered and includes illustrations unique to it. All issues
have a color cover. Entries on the same line appear on the same page.
The first item in each issue's list appears on the
inside front cover, the last item on the back cover.
Stories identified [W: DG] are written by David Greenberger.
(Issues #1-18 are reprinted in
The Complete Eightball #1-18, 2015.)
