As the former collector notes on front, Bob Maier also contributed to a 1968 issue of the anarchist/situationist magazine BLACK & RED, published in Kalamazoo, MI by Fredy Perlman and others. The comic consists of pictures of scientists, with Marxian speech bubbles added; e.g. "If a scientist is to be a good observer, one must observe reality – never, never change reality. Changing reality must be left to the 'experts,' i.e., AUTHORITY." Scarce; OCLC finds two copies: one at Michigan State, and another at Northwestern.
