Title: Six Issues of EPIC
Author: MILLER, Frank
Seller: Between the Covers- Rare Books, Inc. ABAA (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: [Montpelier, Vermont: Frank Miller, 1972. Softcover. Near Fine. Six issues. Quartos. Side stapled spirit-duplicated leaves; the three later issues with cardstock covers. Each between 28pp. and 50pp. Overall near fine or better with some fading to some of the mimeograph covers, minor wear at the edges, a few tiny oxidation spots; and four with names on the covers. An amazing group of six issues of the mimeographed fanzines *EPIC*, drawn and edited by comic book legend Frank Miller while he was still in high school. The issues include 48 pages of stories written and drawn by Miller, along with 13 spot illustrations, three front covers, four rear covers, and four editorials. Miller stands as one of the most influential artists and writers in modern comic books and, in many ways, the person most responsible for dragging comics into the mainstream with his dark and gritty Batman stories of the 1980s, and his daringly innovative creator-owned books *Sin City* and *300*. These comics reveal a comic-obsessed teenager with a single-minded determination to become a comic book professional and with the clear goal to create, according to one of Miller's editorials, “new ideas necessary for the survival of the industry.”.

Title: Gay Forum. Vol. 1 No. 3. December 1-15, 1971
Seller: Langdon Manor Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Near fine
Description: Washington DC: Guild Press, LTD, 1971. Near fine. 17½" x 11¼". Bifolia printed on regular paper stock. pp. 24. Near fine: folded horizontally at center as issued, fresh with minimal wear. This is an issue of a short run gay periodical that signaled the downfall of a gay publishing empire. Its publisher, the Guild Press, was founded by H. Lynn Womack, who had turned a small printing plant purchased in 1957 into a major operation which included more than one periodical, book publishing, a chain of gay bookstores, a mail order business--even a movie theater. Womack's accomplishments were not without significant sacrifice: he was arrested more than once for conspiracy to send obscene materials through the mail and his print shop was raided by the Morals Division of the Washington police in 1960. That series of events led to a federal prison sentence, which led to the first case related to homosexuality that went to oral argument before the United States Supreme Court. Womack prevailed in MANual Enterprises v. Day, which established that erotica intended for gay males was not "obscene as a matter of law," a huge step forward in legal protections for gay publications. The periodical boasted Frank Kameny as its editor-at-large and had lots of national news of interest such as the Society for Individual Rights having a car in San Francisco's Veteran's Day Parade, an article on Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, the LGBTQ+ community in Greensboro, North Carolina, and much more. The paper also included opinion columns and theater and book reviews. Womack intended Gay Forum to be distributed nationally, with a West Coast representative listed and advertisements from all over the country as well. Of note is a full page street map of Washington, D.C. with around 20 gay businesses, many of which were related to the Guild Press. Also of note is the center leaf which opens fully to a spectacular poster featuring Queen Victoria and measuring 22½" x 17¼". The poster was published by S.I.R. to promote sexually transmitted infection awareness. Despite the well produced paper, it failed quickly due to charges against Womack and Guild Press related to the use of underage models as well as the major raids conducted by the FBI on adult bookstores in the East in April 1970. Womack was convicted and agreed to give up all his adult businesses in exchange for a reduced sentence. Guild Press went bankrupt in 1974. We are not sure how many issues were published, but know Gay Forum ran through at least issue number five which was published in January 1972. OCLC shows ten institutions with holdings, seven of which have this particular issue. A fine artifact of the swan song of a major LGBTQ+ publisher.
