The best punk zine ever. Started with two $100 loan from Lawrence Ferlenghetti and Allan Ginsberg. The U.S. scene, far from being a poor impersonation of the British movement, soon developed an energy and talent of its own, which was documented in its own home-grown magazine, “Search and Destroy”, edited by V. Vale between 1977 and 1979. Charles Gatewood, Iggy Poop, Patti Smith, Dead Boys, Metal Urbain.
