Here we have the extremely rare calendar put out by Punk Magazine for the year 1978. The cover is a caricature of the Ramones by Bobby London. The calendar boys and girls on the inside include such punks as Lou Reed, the Dead End Kids, Suicide, Iggy Pop, John Holmstrom's Ordinary Cartoon Person, Debbie Harry from Blondie, the Bay City Rollers (huh?), Richard Hell, the Dead Boys, and James Dean. Watershed moments like the dates of Chef Wong's invention of the egg roll, Son of Sam's arrest, and the Sex Pistols saying naughty words on the BBC are duly marked, as well as the birthdays of Paul Revere, Alice Cooper, Marc Bolan, Jim Morrison, J. Edgar Hoover, Johnny Thunders, Lawrence Welk and as many more as could be crammed in.
This copy is in excellent condition... it could be called "mint," since it was never sold to anyone. Please note that the black spots on January shown in the linked visual are part of the design. It's "punk art," not the result of a food fight in the Punk Dump. The size of the calendar is 11 inches by 17 inches. Also note the "Punk Publications" hallmark of authenticity on the back (produced using the advanced technology of that era known as "rubber stamping").The paper is slightly yellowed, but in as good a condition as you could hope to find. This copy followed me from the Punk office to my apartment, to another apartment, to my mom's basement in Kansas, and now to my very own basement. With just a few small movements of your wrist and index finger, it can be yours.
