About This Item
Amsterdam.: Real Free Press., 1968-1974.. Seven issues. Each issue in large tabloid newspaper format.. (43 x 31 cm).. pp. 20-24 each issue. Printed in black-and-white throughout. Real Free Press was an alternative comics store and press in Amsterdam in the 1970s, run by former Provo-member Olaf Stoop (1945-1999). Between 1968 amd 1974 the press published six issues of its Real Free Press Illustraties which contained - in Dutch translations by Martin Beumer - works by well-known American underground artists such as Robert Crumb, S. Clay Wilson and Will Eisner and launched the Dutch artists Peter Pontiac, Bernard ‘Willem’ Holtrop and Joost Swarte. Dutch translations of early 20th-century comics such as Krazy Kat and Little Nemo in Slumberland, advertisements, anarchist texts, reviews and interviews also found their way into the six Real Free Press Illustratie. Real Free Press, with its roots in the Dutch Provos and anarchism, was a product of the Amsterdam counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s. The store was a hotbed of subversion, where imported American, British and French underground comics and records were enjoyed and changed hands. Presented here are all six issues of Free Press Illustratie, as well as the supplementary ‘Collector’s Issue’ of ÉHÉ-CATL from 1971, dedicated to Bud Fisher’s Mutt and Jeff cartoons, Harrison Cady, Percy Crosby and T.S. Sullivant.
