About this Item

Tabloid printed on newsprint measuring 11.5 x 15 inches. Pp. 24 including covers. Covers and centerfold printed in color. Light age toning to edges. A solid copy of the Seattle underground paper featuring color cover art by Walt Crowley, an interview with Taj Mahal, and an ad on the rear cover for Peter Paul and Mary. Helix joined a burgeoning underground press then including groundbreaking alternative papers the East Village Other, the Los Angeles Free Press, the Fifth Estate and the Berkeley Barb. Founded by Paul Sawyer, Paul Dorpat and Lorenzo Milam, it sprang from their intellectual fervor at the Free University, an alternative thinktank they also founded. Eventually star-illustrator Walt Crowley assumed editorship. A pebble in the shoe of Seattle establishment, the "hip rag" brought attention to civic injustice by rallying its youthful readership to activism. The apogee of that effort followed the 1970 killing of students at Kent State: over the course of May 5-8, Helix organized protests that blocked US Interstate 5 while marching between the University District and rallies at the Federal Courthouse in downtown Seattle. This issue is housed in a removable, clear sleeve with an acid-free backing. .
