Provenance: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive.
Background: The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
The issue is complete and in good condition. It was procured from The Village Voice's own archives and has never been in circulation.
