San Francisco Oracle
Volume 1 #12 1968
2000 AD Symposium
Carl Rogers, Alan Watts, Herman Kahn
This underground paper was published from
September 1966 to February 1968.
This is the final issue.
here's what Wikipedia says about The Oracle:
The Oracle of the City of San Francisco, also known as the San Francisco Oracle, [1] was an underground newspaper published in 12 issues from September 20, 1966, to February 1968 in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of that city. Allen Cohen (1940–2004), the editor and Michael Bowen, the art director, founded the publication. The Oracle was among the founding members of the Underground Press Syndicate.
The Oracle combined poetry, spirituality, and multicultural interests with psychedelic design, reflecting and shaping the countercultural community as it developed in the Haight-Ashbury. It was arguably the outstanding example of psychedelia within countercultural "underground" press, noted for experimental multicolored design. Oracle contributors included many significant San Francisco-area artists of the time, including Bruce Conner and Rick Griffin. It featured such beat writers as Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Michael McClure.
At its peak, the publication's print run was about 125,000, but its editors estimated that ample pass-around readership brought their circulation above half a million.[1]
This issue is largely devoted to the future:
Articles include:
Final City/Tap City/Drop City

essays by Carl Rogers, Alan Watts, and Herman Kahn
2 pages of poetry and small illustrations

Here is a rare painted Billiken vinyl model kit of the hideously disfigured colossal man as he appeared in Bert I Gordon's "War of the Colossal Beast" from 1958. This kit is very hard to get and the builder did an excellent job in painting the monster! One of my all-time favorite original rare monster kits!!!
