As an influential counter-culture satirical magazine, its subject matters included homosexuality, police brutality, women's rights, the White Australia policy and the Vietnam War. Issue No. 41 was 'The Final Issue'. Subsequently further issues appeared, edited by Richard Walsh and Dean Letcher, in a much reduced monthly 4-page stapled format, into 1970. Controversy dogged the publication, with obscenity trials brought against the editors on two occasions, the second of which in April 1964 led to a sentence of three months' hard labour, a conviction which was overturned on appeal. The very scarce issue number 1 has a note in Richard Neville's hand stating 'Richard Neville who did this issue single hand (virtually)', and on issue number 24 a note, also in Neville's hand, reads 'Julie [?Clark] says you're terrific. Hope we meet. Richard Neville'. This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: • • Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.
