This quintessential July and August 1972 edition of the legendary underground publication presents a vibrant snapshot of the British counterculture during its most visually experimental phase. The striking yellow cover features a surrealist circular landscape teeming with fantastical creatures and psychedelic knights framed by the classic Disney character Goofy in a playful double header design.

Central to the subversive editorial spirit of this volume is an intense feature titled Murder is an Absurd Suggestion which shares a letter from Michael X written while he was facing charges in a Trinidadian jail. Art enthusiasts will find significant cultural value in the Joshua A Letter from an Idle Fellow piece which pair intimate correspondence from Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo with the iconic collage work of Martin Sharp.

The issue further explores the era of alternative lifestyle through Jim Anderson and his report on the hippy paradise of Bali while maintaining a sharp eye on the contemporary music scene with an essential full page review of the landmark album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie. Themes of political anarchy and the new left are explored alongside articles on the Lebanese jail system and the evolving world of acupuncture reflecting the diverse interests of its original readership. As a first edition published by OZ Publication Ink Ltd this magazine represents a critical artifact of the 1970s underground press movement standing as a testament to the radical journalism and avant garde graphic design that defined the era.
