Most of the stuff you post I am familiar with or at least have heard of. I have no knowledge of this book at all. I will have to research it some. Thanks for posting this.

I knew literally nothing about it before grabbing it myself, the history is really cool though. The writer, Steve Gerber, aka the guy who created Howard the Duck and Man-Thing. It was supposed to be six issues and dropped right after two. Well here, right from the Wikipedia:

Due to the comic's extreme (for the time) portrayal of violence, however, distributor reaction to the first issue of the limited series was negative. Critical reaction was harsh for the same reason: in his Comics Buyer's Guide column, "The Law is a Ass," Bob Ingersoll cited the book as being a "crime against humanity."

Orders for the second issue dropped due to negative reviews, and Epic's editor-in-chief Archie Goodwin considered it not worth publishing the rest of the series due to the pressures he and the company were under.[5] Issues 3–6 were never completed

Also a neat little tidbit I didn't catch on first research of this book

Gerber initially shopped the story to independent publishers as well as DC Comics, but could not come to an agreement.[1] So, he brought it to Marvel Comics, a company he had recently quit.[1]
