Spain Rodriguez cover of The East Village Other.
Trashman. Agent of the 6th International. Spain Rodriguez.
I recently completed work on a book about the sixties underground press, On The Ground (PM Press), and in the process of putting it together I’ve gathered way more content than I could ever hope to possibly cram into the thing. Instead of sitting on it all, I’ll be sharing a series of left over interview snippets and scans that didn’t make the final cut, but which I still think you’ll dig. First up is a studio visit at the San Francisco home of comix legend Spain Rodriguez.
