World premiere of "Rocky" (1976)... "Carrie"...
Item # 706550
November 22, 1976
THE VILLAGE VOICE, New York, Nov. 22, 1976
* "Rocky" World premiere advertisement
* American sports drama film
* Sylvester Stallone - Rocky Balboa
* "Carrie" supernatural horror film
Page 62 has a iconic 6 x 6 inch advertisement: "Rocky" for it's World premiere in New York City. Being a weekly publication, this is actually the opening day ad for this film. And this film made it's World premiere in New York City as well.
Also page 58 has a 5 x 4 ad for "Carrie" for it's opening week.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
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.
Complete in 100+ pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, small library stamp on the front page, generally in very nice condition.
Provenance note: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive. Rare as such.
