No subscriber labels. Some wraps and contents age-toned, staples occasionally rusted. Scanlan's was a counterculture magazine that broke down nearly as many boundaries as its predecessor, Ramparts, during its short existence. It launched "gonzo journalism" with the article "The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved" by Hunter S. Thompson, illustrated by Ralph Steadman, in its June 1970 issue-- that's the one with Nixon's face being punched into oblivion. Steadman's splattery signature graces the negative space around the derby-goer's head on the article's title page. He and Thompson would go on to collaborate on the book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which brought gonzo journalism widespread popularity. The set also features work by R. Crumb, Alfred McCoy (author of The Politics of Heroin), JFK investigator Jim Garrison's cohort William Turner, and Robert Altman well as other Thompson (AKA Raoul Duke) and Steadman work.
