Info on this is apparently sketchy, but what there is is here:

The site also contains a larger, different front cover.



I did not find a listing for this in the Library of Congress catalog, which I find rather surprising. Maybe someone with more experience can.

Thanks for the link, Irek, though it raises as many questions as it answers. It strikes me odd that a promotional magazine printed by the government for distribution to embassies would be so rare: only two known copies? I'd have thought the comic would have had a very large print run. Maybe a hundred thousand copies are languishing in a warehouse somewhere, like all those copies of the formerly-rare Major Inapak, the Space Ace, which suddenly flooded the market years ago.

Rare or not, at $621.85 the book seems a wee bit overpriced.
