Condizione: Very good. The Needle was a New York based alternative magazine in the mid-1960s. Thematically it was somewhat similar to other counterculture publications like the East Village Other, the Fuck You Press, or The Rat, with satirical stories, comix, and poetry. Although politically left, chauvinistic humor was the predominant theme of The Needle. This collection contains original layout pages for the second issue, as well as a couple of photographs with editorial instructions, assorted mimeo-typescript poetry contributions by Christopher Rano, and correspondence to the editor. The issue also had a dominant double-fold poster featuring several collages of the Statue of Liberty made by Rano, several of which are present here. A near complete layout of issue 2 ordered by section, though lacking the artwork for what would be the cover of the second issue, as well as assorted sections with two more of the fold-out posters present 5 cover pages for The Needle, vol. 1, no. 1. 3 blank Needle letterhead pages 13 single-sided mimeo-typescript leaves of poetry by Christopher Rano (one with manuscript annotations) An envelope with three newspaper clippings addressed to editor, Alfred Niemand.
