Original 1st printing 8 x 9&3/4" 12-page comic book/merchandise catalog and approximately 12" square album cover for Southern California-based surf/pop/rock band the Challengers. Art by Rick Griffin, thin glossy stock comic ("The Challengers Cartoon Book", from 1965/66) is in excellent (B+) condition; there is a bit of light edge toning on a couple of pages, a scrapbook-page residue shadow on the reverse cover and a touch of handling wear, otherwise fine. The album cover ("The Challengers Go Sidewalk Surfing", Triumph Records, 1964 (no disc included) is in great shape; just a bit of light surface /spine wear, otherwise fine. Nifty little pair of surf-era Rick Griffin artifacts, you can see the psychedelic/LSD influence just starting to creep into the picture in certain parts of the comic.
