Kupperman Mark (1 results)

Tabloid. Condition: Good. Tabloid format newspaper. Approximately 16 ½ by 11 inches. 12 pp., including covers. Black and white photos and art throughout. The first issue of this underground newspaper, apparently started by Mark Kupperman after his disillusionment with his job as a photographer at a mainstream newspaper. His opening editorial mentions the lack of coverage (and suppression) of positive African-American community stories, as well as the suppression of photos of police beating protestors at the Chicago convention. This issue contains a reprint of an interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono at their bed-in, high school radicalism, an article on summer in the (inner) city, and various pieces reflecting a hippie/counterculture tone. GOOD condition. Moderate browning to the piece. Paper rather brittle. Many small tears along the fore edge and upper and lower spine, with some creasing, including the lower corner. A few tiny chips present. Horizontal fold creases present. Minor soiling.
