The Hobo News: A Little Fun to Match the Sorrow, Vol. 6 No. 17, April 23, 1946
New York: The Hobo News, 1946.
April 23, 1946. Vol. 6, No. 17. Illustrated with photos and many cartoons. Stapled sheets. 24 p. Good- to Fair condition. Binding intact. Sheets are brittle, toned, creased, curled and chipped around edges; paper needs to be handled quite carefully. Gnawing to outer corner margin. A typically fragile, worn copy of a cheaply-produced early street newspaper sold by the homeless. Rare. A 16-year-old John Keel contributed the short piece "Say It With A Song" to this issue. It was most likely the young magician and freelancer's second or third experience in print. Eventually he would write such Fortean classics as The Mothman Prophecies, Disneyland of the Gods, and Jadoo.
Price: $200.00
