Robert Crumb autograph letter signed to Woody Gelman, ''Nostalgia Press'' comic books publisher and fellow artist. Letter is written in blue ink on a piece of white paper with his ''705 Clayton St. San Francisco'' address, and reads, ''Woody: I'm sending you the 25 copies of Zap Comics. The bill is (math equation) $3.75. It's selling really well out here. Sold 3500 copies already! We're almost out of the first printing but will go into 2nd printing soon. Mike McInerny never got in touch with me. Should I write to him? Maybe I will. I'd love to get distribution in New York. Think we could sell a lot of copies there! My partner in this venture, one Don Donahue, is buying a multi-lith press. We have big plans! Lots of stuff in the works! Did you give a 'zap' to Bob Stewart? Like to hear his opinion...Everything going well with the book. Finished front and back cover last weeks. Looks good! By the way! Dana had a baby boy April 1st! Incredible! These are great days for me! Danie sends her love! Crumbs''. With a pencil notation beneath in unknown hand. Measures 8.5'' x 11'' on one page with minor folds and staple holes at top left. Also includes a response autograph letter signed ''Woody'' on ''Nostalgia Press'' letterhead, dated 20 April 1968. Letter on one 5'' x 7'' sheet, front and verso, is addressed to Crumb, with ''Crumb'' written at top right in maroon crayon. Overall, very good condition.
