First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Dunker, Robert M. (illustrator). 1st Edition. Wraps (PB) in near fine condition with 1 single alphabet letter written on top right of first page. Issue No. 1 features a U.S. Army soldier holding a rifle in one hand and a lifeless infant in the other, accompanied by the caption "ATTACK!" . The interior pages are replete with satirical cartoons, erotic drawings, and macabre scenes, all rendered in a raw, unfiltered style that echoes the underground comix movement. The layout is deliberately chaotic, reinforcing the magazine's rebellious ethos. The content of Horseshit is as confrontational as its visuals. The inaugural issue opens with a meta-dialogue titled "On Naming the Magazine," where characters brainstorm titles like "The Diarrhea of Anne Frank", showcasing the editors' penchant for taboo-breaking humor. Subsequent articles include "The Angled Banana," a satirical piece that reimagines Kama Sutra positions with absurdist flair, and various poems and essays that lampoon politics, religion, and societal conventions. 45 pages.

First Edition
A complete run of this irreverent, countercultural magazine written, illustrated and published by Robert and Thomas Dunker in Hermosa Beach, Calif. Tom Dunker - who was a parapalegic - contributed all of the writing and his brother Bob all of the illustrations and design work. The magazine was stridently anti-war and lampooned American nationalism, religious hypocrisy, and a culture of repressed sexuality. Much of Bob Dunker's artwork featured nude women and men with humorous captions. Although only four issues were published, each issue went through multiple printings. Offered here are issue 1 - second printing; issue 2 - fourth printing; issue 3 - second printing; and issue four - presumed first printing. The brothers initially called their publishing imprint Gauntlet until they discovered that it was already the name of a homosexual publication and they changed it to Scum Publishing with issue two. Magazine format, 44 pp.; 48 pp.; 48 pp.; 56 pp., all heavily illustrated. Most issues near fine, two issues with slight rubbing.
