Guerrilla: Free Newspaper of the Streets. Vol. 2, No. 3

New York and San Francisco: Allen Van Newkirk / Liberation News Service, 1968. First Edition. Original double-sided poster, with text and images offset printed in black on white stock, measuring 54.25cm x 41.5cm (21 3/8" x 16 3/8"). Some old folds smoothed out, pin holes at corners, light wear and dust-soil, with mild toning on recto, and a more pronounced patch of toning at upper left quarter on verso; Very Good.

Single issue of Van Newkirk's ephemeral free newspaper, distributed irregularly as "a cultural supplement of Liberation News Service." Printed on recto is a bold proclamation in support of Eldridge Cleaver's Presidential campaign; verso collects endorsements of Cleaver by various figures on the left above the text of the Black Panther Party Platform and Program. Van Newkirk was a seminal figure in the Detroit radical scene of the Sixties, where he was affiliated with such groups as the Detroit Artists Workshop and John Sinclair's White Panther Party. Guerrilla was issued irregularly from 1967-68, in various formats and under a variety of imprints. The current issue provides an editorial address in New York City and a San Francisco imprint.
