Issue 0 - inside front cover
Again with this first inside cover, I was setting a template that would barely change over the entire run of Bubonix. Don't go thinking it was all some master plan: I was probably too lazy to change anything as it was easier to just stick with a format that was already in place.
The overall layout of the page is stolen from the inside front cover format that existed in Cerebus at the time. Other small tidbits which would remain consistent are the copyright footer where I would include some silly little joke and my phrase "PRINTED IN THE CANADA" instead of the usual "PRINTED IN CANADA". Why did I write "Printed in THE Canada"? I have no idea except that it probably sounded funny to me at the time.
When I finished this comic, I walked into the local photocopy shop and ran off 15 copies on their main copier. (Yes, first editions of this one are extremely rare, and who knows, maybe valuable as well!) The copies looked like crap - the blacks were very gray, pages were crooked, you could see black edges all over the place. I resolved to do better next time.
The Monopoly Wars story was later reprinted in Bubonix Classix 3.
