Dunker, Robert M. and Thomas W.

Horseshit, Nos. 1-4 [complete run]

Hermosa Beach, Calif. Scum Publishing Co., ©1965-1970. A complete run of this irreverent, countercultural magazine written, illustrated and published by Robert and Thomas Dunker in Hermosa Beach, Calif. Tom Dunker - who was a parapalegic - contributed all of the writing and his brother Bob all of the illustrations and design work. The magazine was stridently anti-war and lampooned American nationalism, religious hypocrisy, and a culture of repressed sexuality. Much of Bob Dunker's artwork featured nude women and men with humorous captions. Although only four issues were published, each issue went through multiple printings. Offered here are issue 1 - second printing; issue 2 - fourth printing; issue 3 - second printing; and issue four - presumed first printing. The brothers initially called their publishing imprint Gauntlet until they discovered that it was already the name of a homosexual publication and they changed it to Scum Publishing with issue two.

Magazine format, 44 pp.; 48 pp.; 48 pp.; 56 pp., all heavily illustrated. Most issues near fine, two issues with slight rubbing. Item #14637
