It is currently unknown how many copies of this tabloid were printed. I’m guessing it was a pretty healthy number, like 50,000 or 100,000, but as a newsprint tabloid it was considered quite disposable in its day. Not many survive in excellent condition. None of the Gothic Blimp Works tabloids were reprinted.

During its eight-issue run, Gothic Blimp Works provided many of the best comic creators in the underground with much-needed exposure, including Roger Brand, Robert Crumb, Kim Deitch, Joel Beck, Jay Lynch, Trina Robbins, Spain Rodriguez, Barbara “Willy” Mendes, Art Spiegelman, John Thompson, Willy Murphy, Larry Todd and S. Clay Wilson. Each issue (except the last) featured full-color comic pages along with the standard black-and-white comics.
