B42552 – Ink 1971/72 Newspaper Collection (UK)

A collection of 24 issues of the underground newspaper Ink. The first issue is for May 1971 and the last issue is from February 21^st 1972.

Ink was founded by Richard Neville, co-founder of OZ magazine in May 1971. It was Neville’s view that the existing underground press were not meeting the needs for an alternative view. Ink was launched as a weekly publication in May 1971 and changed to a fortnightly release in August of the same year. Due to the paper’s close association with Oz magazine and the Oz trials it ended publication in February 1972.

Each paper measures 30cm x 42cm (11.8 inches x 16.5 inches). Several issues are in very good minus condition while the remainder are very good.
