The cover of this Winter 1995 edition of Atom Mind is a reproduction of piece drawn in 1992 of an event from 1968. It shows Crumb peddling comics from a baby stroller along with his first wife at hippie ground zero: the intersection of Haight and Ashbury Streets in San Francisco. The caption refers to a "legend was born", presumably the launch of Zap Comix with Crumb sporting a saintly halo. The drawing appeared earlier in the 25th Anniversary Issue of the Whole Earth Review (No. 79, Summer 1993).
