You can buy it online here, at Leopold's Books in Detroit, Desert Island in Brooklyn, or Quimby's Bookstore in Chicago.

On Friday, while travelling across the Canadian border, it was confiscated for being "obscene." That should add some coolness for you. They wrote about it at The Comics Journal. Sorry, mom.
