Description

Long before the mainstream press would touch certain subjects, the underground papers were already running them on the front page. The Berkeley Barb was one of the loudest, messiest, and most essential of the West Coast undergrounds — politics, sex, drugs, antiwar agitation, women’s liberation, Black Panther support, People’s Park coverage — all of it laid out in unapologetic black and red ink. This July 1970 issue lands squarely in that moment, when counterculture journalism wasn’t commentary — it was participation.

And then there are the outlaw comics. Gilbert Shelton’s Freak Brothers, Robert Crumb, and the rest of the underground comix movement weren’t just funny — they were subversive, obscene, political, and culturally detonative — and would never appear in print in this day and age. These strips ran alongside radical reporting, blurring satire and social documentation. Mainstream papers weren’t touching this work. And did I mention the coolest back-page ads ever?!

A sharp copy from one of the defining underground newspapers of the era.
