About this Item
Description:
Tabloid printed black on newsprint measuring 11.25 x 17.5 inches. Pp. 24 including covers. Cover wrap and center spread printed in color. Cover edges lightly age-toned, rear cover chipped, a few interior edges with lower corners with small marginal chip. An issue of the Seattle underground bi-weekly, with articles on a recent pro-abortion rally, Nigeria's victory over the successionist Biafra state, an interview with the Dutch Dr Alje Vennema regarding atrocities reportedly committed by American soldiers in Vietnam, and the intersection of Ecology and Revolution. The advertisement section includes a promotional ad for Three Dog Night's approaching Seattle concert.Helix joined a burgeoning underground press then including groundbreaking alternative papers the East Village Other, the Los Angeles Free Press, the Fifth Estate and the Berkeley Barb. Founded by Paul Sawyer, Paul Dorpat and Lorenzo Milam, it sprang from their intellectual fervor at the Free University, an alternative thinktank they also founded. Eventually star-illustrator Walt Crowley assumed editorship.A pebble in the shoe of Seattle establishment, the "hip rag" brought attention to civic injustice by rallying its youthful readership to activism. The apogee of that effort followed the 1970 killing of students at Kent State: over the course of May 5-8, Helix organized protests that blocked US Interstate 5 while marching between the University District and rallies at the Federal Courthouse in downtown Seattle. Early issues are increasingly scarce. This copy is housed in a removable, clear sleeve with an acid-free backing. . Seller Inventory # 9628
