Description: Fits 1 Underground Zine (1971 7 Freds Press/Collective) featuring R. Crumb, Greg Irons, Kenneth Green, cover: Rory Hayes Excellent condition for its age. Super flat. Sharp corners. No major creases or dings. Very, very minor wear. Small stain on cover which could most likely be lifted with a light cleaning. See pics for exact condition. A truly RARE FIND! 60-page first issue of this low-circulation underground magazine that contains both text and artwork (including a classic cover and full-page interior plate by Rory Hayes). Inside front cover features an ad by R. Crumb for "Thrilling Murder Comics." Fits #1 features comic artwork from Greg Irons, Kenneth Green and, of course, Rory Hayes (who produced the cover). The magazine's title is hidden on the third page of the book, which makes it hard for some people to identify the publication by name. Fits was published by five men and women from Columbia University who had moved to San Francisco in 1970 to pursue complete freedom of expression. Highlights from this issue include a cruel yet touching poem about Marilyn Monroe from Judy Grahn; Jon and Cynthia Meyer writing about their marriage, Bell's Palsy and spinal taps; a nonsensical feminist rant by Nancy Senauke; and David Anderson's stream-of-consciousness article about the circus coming to town. _ COMIC CREATORS: Rory Hayes - 1, 48, 60 Robert Crumb - 2 (ad for Eric Fromm aka Gary Arlington) Publishing staff - 3 (introduction), 11-15 (culled articles) Alan Senauke - 4, 43 Jon and Cynthia Meyer - 5-8 (article) Nancy Senauke - 7 (art), 32 (art), 35 (text and collage), 42 (art) The Chicago Tribune - 8 (editorial cartoon by unknown artist) Charlie Vermont - 9-10 (text and poetry) Kenneth Greene - 16 Tom Clark - 17-21 (text and collage) Downtown Peace Coalition - 22-23 (text) Ron Padgett - 24-29 (collaboration), 44-45 (collaboration) George Scneeman - 24-29 (collaboration) Mitch Sisskind - 30-34 (script for play) Les Gottesman - 34 (art), 53 (art) Andrea Codrescu - 36-37 (poems) Alice Codrescu - 36-37 (art) Hilton Obenzinger - 38 (text and collage), 54 (poem) Britt Wilkie - 39-40 David Anderson - 41-42 (story) Tom Veitch - 44-45 (collaboration) Anne Waldman - 46-47 (poetry and collage) Lewis Marsh - 49-51 (text) Judy Grahn - 52 (poem and collage) Peter O'Keefe - 53 (poem) Dick Cogswell - 54 (art), 57 (collage) John Brown - 55-57 (story) Greg Irons - 58 John Giorno - 59 (poem) Simon Deitch - 60 (lettering)
