FABULOUS FURRY FREAK BROTHERS HIGH TIMES AND MISDEMEANORS

In this early epic of the hilarious and politically correct Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, Freewheelin’ Franklin, Phineas, and Fat Freddy think they’re in the money when they establish their own low-fare one-vehicle bus line in the full-color (painted!) adventure, “The $29.95 SF to NYC Non-Stop Whiteline Cannonball Express.” But that cheap price means lots of unexpected detours — especially when they decide to let the passengers vote on the stops along the way! (Of course, they forget to include the cost of gas in their plans, and they don’t seem to understand the meaning of “express.”) Then, the brothers give Fat Freddy money to score some weed, and he proudly returns with...an electric train set?Other Freak follies in this volume include all of the color strips from the Freak Brothers’ adventures as originally published in High Times and Playboy magazines. Plus: Fat Freddy’s Cat stars in the black-and-white “Chariots of the Globs” and the color “The Burning of Hollywood,” along with other solo outings!High Times and Misdemeanors is the fifth release in this special series of seven graphic albums. (The series presents all of the Freak Brothers’ adventures chronologically, but individual albums are being released in a different order. Still to come: Volumes 1 and 7.) The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comics have sold more than 45 million copies worldwide in 16 languages. These painstakingly restored hardcovers, featuring die-cut covers, are the first North American bookshelf editions in more than thirty years. The Freak Brothers, the animated series now streaming on Tubi, stars Woody Harrelson, Pete Davidson, John Goodman, and Tiffany Haddish.

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
