About this Item

Tabloid printed black on newsprint measuring 11.25 x 17.5 inches. Pp. 28 including covers. Edges lightly age-toned. A well preserved copy. An issue of the Seattle underground bi-weekly, with articles on a Portland meeting of the Black Panther Party, the Victorian architecture of Port Townsend, efforts to save Pike Place Market from redevelopment, and film reviews including John Wayne's "True Grit." Rear cover advertises a memorial for Wharton T Funk.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. Early issues are increasingly scarce. This copy is housed in a removable, clear sleeve with an acid-free backing. .
