1969 LAUGH LITERARY AND MAN THE HUMPING GUNS VOL. 1 NO. 1 PRESENTATION Literary and Man the Humping Guns, an underground publication launched in 1969 by Charles Bukowski and Neeli Cherkovski, served as an unfiltered outlet for the counterculture poetry scene, rejecting the traditional academic literary establishments of the era.
Bukowski personally inscribed and gifted the volume 1, number 1 copy offered here to Billy Persons, the famous bassist for the 70s Southern California punk band the Weirdos and punk supergroup the Joykiller. Bukowski was known to frequently sign and gift his published writings to artists, musicians, and other celebrities of the Southern California underground.
This remarkably clean and near-fine copy of Bukowski's rare and important self-published debut issue is free of stains, odors, and major creasing.
