IT, The International Times No.32, May 31-June 13 1968

Descripción

INTERNATIONAL TIMES (IT) was published from the 1960s into the 1980s, and helped launch the careers of Germaine Greer, Jeff Nuttall, Heathcote Williams and John Peel, among others. There were original stories from writers such as Norman Mailer, William Burroughs, Alexander Trocchi and Allen Ginsberg. It mixed radical politics with news and features on literature, drugs and sex. And it covered the spread of alternative culture across the globe, from the May 1968 protests in Paris to the Black Panthers to the anti-Vietnam war movement. More importantly, it provided a model for the alternative press. It was almost certainly an influence on Tony Elliott's decision to launch Time Out magazine, whose first issue looks almost identical to IT's "What's Happening" listings section. IT's design (a mixture of hand-drawn illustrations, typeset text and cutout photographs), arresting covers and striking logo helped set the graphic tone of its era. It championed cartoonist Robert Crumb and underground comic strips such as the Furry Freak Brothers.
