This is the infamous "Illustrated History of Heidi Saha" one-shot that
Warren Publishing released in 1973. Stories vary:
It was published and recalled/destroyed;
It was published in a limited run of 500 or 1000 to sell at
conventions;
It was pulled off shelves due to questionable content.
I do not know the true story of why this mag is so rare. What I can
tell you is that this copy came from an estate collection that
contained LOTS of uncirculated Warren titles. This is in fantastic
shape for a book that sat unprotected in a box for 30 years. There is a
bit of flaking on the spine, and a thumbprint on the black area of the
cover. I think I may be the first person to open the book in 30 years.
I have paged through the book, and though the logic of its existence
may be puzzling, there is NOTHING objectionable contained here. It's a
goofy/innocent tribute to some girl that went to conventions dressd as
various sci-fi/fantasy characters. There are no color pics, no
Vampirella pics, and NO inappropriate pics in this book. Heidi is seen
at conventions with Forry Ackerman, Arthur C Clarke, etc. It's so rare
that its legend has sometimes stated otherwise. It's listed at many
sites as one of the top five Most Wanted Warren titles to collectors. I
hope it's what you're after.
