Homegrown International #8 - 1980

Vintage cannabis magazine in amazing condition.Home Grown was a breakthrough magazine of the 1970s that represented a defining moment in British ‘underground’ culture. The first issue was published in June 1977 after Lee Harris compiled a collection of photos and writings for an event to celebrate 10 years of the 'Summer of Love' at the Roundhouse, London. When the event failed to materialize however, Lee used his collection instead to publish Home Grown.
 
Europe’s first ‘dope’ magazine dealing with cannabis and the psychedelic experience, Home Grown featured leading artists, writers and poets such as George Melly, Heathcote Williams, Harry Shapiro, Timothy Leary, Michael Hollingshead and Bryan Talbot. Altogether 10 issues were published which sold in Europe, the US, Canada and Australia, and are now highly collectable.
 
This eighth way out issue features cool comix by Bryan Talbot and art by Clifford Harper, Mikki Rain, Adrian Morgan and Peter Dawson. Stories include "A Season In Hell —By an Angel Headed Hipster," "I Get Paid For Paranoia: A Self-Portrait of a Marijuana Dealer," "Singin' the Blues on Reds," a color photo centerfold and much more!
