NY: Kiss, 1969. Unbound newsprint tabloid. 18pp; b&w illus. Contents rather toned, as usual, with a few small edge chips. Altogether very good or better, and unfolded.
Third issue of this sex and counterculture tabloid founded by employees of the East Village Other, and noted for its hipper and more tongue-in-cheek approach to the sleaze tabloid format then proliferating in New York; editor Fabricant (sometimes "Fabrikant") also publisher of Gay Power and Aquarian Agent. Contents here include an introductory editorial; an article lauding the virtues of cunnilingus; a D. A. Latimer column, "Mung"; a color centerfold featuring an unattributed erotic comic strip; erotic fiction; etc. Illustrated throughout in black-and-white, including explicit nudes; rear cover with color illustration by R. Crumb.
N.B. Unlike later issues, the cover and center-leaves are here printed on higher-quality paperstock, significantly less toned than the newsprint leaves.
