Double Helix [newspaper].
Seattle, WA: Helix, [1972]. First Edition. Published on the heels of "Helix." The Helix was an American biweekly newspaper founded in 1967 after a series of organizational meetings held at the Free University of Seattle involving a large and eclectic group including Paul Dorpat, Tom Robbins, Ray Collins, and Lorenzo Milam. A member of both the Underground Press Syndicate and the Liberation News Service, it published a total of 125 issues (sometimes as a weekly, sometimes as a biweekly) before folding on June 11, 1970. Contents of the paper were a New Left/hippie mélange of underground politics, psychedelic graphics, drug culture, bulletins from the Liberation News Service, and rock music reviews, with much coverage of rock festivals in the Pacific Northwest. This issue of Double Helix was a one-off newspaper more abstract, arty, yet containing collage style images of politics and radical imagery. Scarce. Very Good+ in Wraps. Toning, creasing, and tears at folds, else intact, bright, and unmarred. Tabloid newsprint. np. Illus. (b/w). Item #13144
