Scanlans Magazine (September 1970, Vol. 1 #7) Hippies, Castro, & Captain Garbage! Scanlan's Monthly was a politically controversial left wing magazine. It was in print only from March 1970 until January 1971. Edited by Warren Hinckle III and Sidney Zion, it featured politically controversial muckraking and was ultimately subject to an investigation by the FBI during the Nixon administration. It was boycotted by printers as "un-American" by 1971. Scanlan's is best-remembered for featuring several articles by Hunter S. Thompson, his first instances of "gonzo journalism." This issue features a piece titled "The Police Chief - An Indispensable Magazine of Law Enforcement" by Hunter writing as Raoul Duke. From the byline: "Raoul Duke is a well known weapons advisor and consultant to Hunter S. Thompson, candidate for sheriff of Aspen, Colorado." This issue is in beautiful shape, with only a slight pen mark on the right of the cover...otherwise, it is near mint. $50 email [email protected] #scanlans #huntersthompson #gonzo #raoulduke #fearandloathing #thegreatsharkhunt

Hunter S. Thompson fans, here's a rare find...Scanlan's Monthly Volume One Number Seven September 1970 Featuring Hunter S. Thompson (writing as Raoul Duke) & art by Ralph Steadman Scanlan's Monthly was a politically controversial left wing magazine. It was in print only from March 1970 until January 1971. Warren J. Hinckle III and co-conspirator Sidney Zion began publishing SCANLAN'S MONTHLY, intended to be the heavy-duty, no-holds-barred, rock 'em, sock 'em muckraking magazine that RAMPARTS had once been. The results were successful, as Richard Nixon forced an investigation of the magazine, forcing it to publish its final issue from Canada before SCANLAN'S disappeared forever.
