New York: Scanlan's Literary House, 1970. First Edition. Paperback. Vol. 1, No. 4. [1], 77 pp. Bound in publisher's stapled wraps with illustration of Richard Nixon's face being punched into oblivion. A Fine copy with a hint of age toning, otherwise in great shape. The first collaboration of author Hunter S. Thompson and artist Ralph Steadman, in a magazine piece that marked the birth of "gonzo journalism," Thompson's version of the New Journalism that helped to define the cynical '70s. Scanlan's Monthly was a short-lived vehicle of daredevil former Ramparts publisher Warren Hinckle.
