Terry Gilliam's first solo directorial effort after co-directing "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" with Terry Jones. A comedy in the Python style-and with much of the Python cast-owing much to "The Holy Grail, " but with evidence of Gilliam's unique touch, which would come into full bloom with "Time Bandits" (1981) and ultimately "Brazil" (1985). Red titled wrappers with die-cut front wrapper in the British style. Title page present, with credits for writers Alverson and Gilliam (holograph ink parenthetical markings to the left and right of their names). Noted as "A Revisedish Sort of Finalish Draft, February 10, 1976" at the bottom right. Pages Near Fine, wrappers Good to Very Good with creasing at the corners and some staining.
