Hara‑Kiri n°108 (Septembre 1970) is a landmark issue from the magazine’s early photographic era, defined by aggressive anti‑establishment satire and bold, provocative imagery. This cover is widely recognised among collectors for its uncompromising stance on hunting culture — a theme Hara‑Kiri targeted repeatedly during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The cover depicts a hunter in uniform who has been struck in the face by a cluster of red‑fletched arrows. The image is intentionally exaggerated, theatrical, and artificial — a staged grotesque tableau designed to parody and invert the usual heroic depictions of hunters.

The message is clarified by the headline:

“Chasseurs, crevez tous !” (“Hunters, drop dead — all of you!”)

This blunt, incendiary slogan exemplifies the magazine's radical tone at the time, when Hara‑Kiri openly attacked institutions, professions, and cultural habits it viewed as cruel or hypocritical. In 1970, public debate around hunting, animal rights, and rural traditions was intensifying in France — and Hara‑Kiri pushed that controversy further with deliberate provocation.
