The East Village Other was a short-lived alt newspaper that ran from 1965 to 1972, coinciding with the country's increased fascination with countercultural ideas. And so EVO quickly became a home for some of the most important, and strangest, thinkers of the hippie era. But almost more notable than its news contributors were the comic contributors. The paper was home to some of the first most notable first generation underground comix writers, like R. Crumb, Spain Rodriguez, and Art Spiegleman just to name a few. This original copy of The East Village Other, Volume 2 Issue #2, is in good condition with light discoloration, minor fraying on the trim, and a few tears on the pages inside.
