Black Mask no. 5
New York: Black Mask, 1967. Offset-printed tabloid, folded, [4]pp, b&w illustrated front cover. Fifth issue of the eponymous journal from anarcho-Dadaist New York City art collective Black Mask, founded in 1966 by Dan Georgakas (1938-2021) and Ben Morea (1941-2026). Black Mask was published more or less bi-monthly, putting out ten issues before the group folded its tent poles in order to resurrect itself as the more politically-oriented bi-coastal network, Up Against the Wall Motherfuckers (or often just "the Motherfuckers").
Aside from statements from within the group itself, this issue also prints a missive from the Survival of American Indians Association and an excerpt from a Stokely Carmichael speech on Afro-American / Puerto Rican unity given at the University of Puerto Rico. Very Good; gently creased from former quarter-folds; mild edgewear and soiling. Item #3983
