AI notes:  The Karate Kid Part II (1986) follows Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Miyagi as they travel to Okinawa, Japan, after Miyagi learns his father is dying. There, Miyagi confronts his past, including a long-standing feud with his former friend Sato over a woman they both loved. Meanwhile, Daniel becomes involved in the local conflict and develops a romance with Kumiko. Tensions escalate when Daniel faces Sato’s angry nephew, Chozen, in a brutal, life-or-death fight. The film explores themes of honor, forgiveness, and cultural tradition, while expanding on Mr. Miyagi’s backstory. 
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 136 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
