So you have number 10, you would think there has to be at least a few somewhere numbered 1-9 still floating around?

They weren't in the large stack of ashcans that Jay Company got from the Image offices in about 2002 (when I bought mine.) Jay Company would frequently go to the Image Offices in Orange, CA, and clear them out of all their "old variant stuff", including the ashcans. These were in a lot of about 200 ashcans they got, mostly Stormwatch.

In this batch, there were 10 Black #2s, 1 Black #3, 35 Red #1s and 8 or so Blue #1s.

I bought them all. In this context, it may have been that these were the only ones left. I don't know, as this is the only time I ever was able to buy blacks. There have been 2-3 Black #1s, 4-5 Black #2s, and ZERO Black #3s for sale on eBay since at least 2000.

Maybe Sam Keith still has them. I'll have to try and track him down, but someone said he was living in England right now.

Why were these books produced? Were they intended to be incentives or gift editions?

I'm just curious because the fact that they're signed and numbered (even to the point of including "AP" editions) makes me think that Keith wanted them to be a nice high-end collectible; however, the fact that Jay Company was selling a stack of them directly from Keith and people are speculating that they may have been tossed in a landfill implies that they were never really distributed.

They seem like very cool books, so I'd like to know the story behind their publication.

I read somewhere that many of these were intended to be gifts for friends and family (the number one blues were probably for the fans), but who knows exactly...

Does anyone happen to have extras of the 1 and 2 red that they'd be willing to trade? I have an extra number 3 red I'm offering as bait.

They were advertised and sold from the early issues of the Maxx, iirc.. Along with other self-made collectibles, such as the Maxximum Sound cassette. I've never heard of those Maxx 1/2 test prints, anyone else?
