This poster is identifiable as a first edition by the absence of a small line in the blue border above the ‘er’ of ‘Kepler’s Book Store’ (in "Ticket Outlets" strip at bottom), and by the way the back of the first edition does not turn grey or lavender under black light like the second and third editions. A popular Moscoco design, known as "Neptune's Notion", this first edition Family Dog poster was printed prior to the show.
