AI notes: Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) is the sequel to the original slasher film and marks the first appearance of Jason Voorhees as the killer. Set five years after the first movie, a new group of camp counselors near Camp Crystal Lake are hunted by Jason, who survived his childhood drowning and seeks revenge for his mother’s death. The film ends with final girl Ginny Field narrowly escaping him. Directed by Steve Miner, it helped cement Jason as a horror icon and became a cult classic.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there 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 with 128 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, nice condition.
