THE LAST SUPPLEMENT TO THE WHOLE EARTH CATALOG

Despite its front cover art by Robert Crumb, this is by no means a comic book, but it's closer to being a comic book than most other issues of The Realist. Articles include "The Dream is Over", "The Bible", "The Hoover Vacuum Conspiracy", along with dozens more. With sales in the tens of thousands, The Last Supplement is a good example of how countercultural content didn't stop The Realist from attracting a diverse audience. Paul Krassner was certainly a visionary about the future of mass media, and The Realist helped him achieve his singular goal: "To put myself out of business by helping to liberate communication by example." There is only one printing of this magazine, but two versions were produced. One was for retail sale on newsstands and other outlets, the other for distribution to subscribers. They can be differentiated by the back cover artwork. It has not been reprinted.  Out Of Print. Condition: Fine. Light cover and edge wear. Creased bottom corner front cover. Crease on back cover.
