Month of June, year of 1991. First issue of the second volume of the series.
So, yeah - this was after "Thoughts & Images", Steve's company, went out. He still wanted to go on, though, and made a deal with the Antarctic Press, resulting in volumes 2, 3, and 4 being printed with AP on the cover. That would be 1991-1993, 1994-1996, and 1996/1999 respectively - which is where, about 1997, Antarctic Press undergone a paradigm shift and began to focus on what truly matters: big-breasted latex-clad warrior-nuns with eyes about 2/3rds of their skulls in volume instead of stupid bullshite like scientific progress and space exploration; though they did print the second issue of the Vol.4 in January of 1999. ...AP did, not the latex-clad nuns. ...At least I think so.
...A-anyway, Volume 5 was printed in 2004/2005 through Shanda Fantasy Arts of Shanda the Panda's fame consequently.
