While it could not be termed obscene, it was filled with creative imagery often caustically critical of American society and government, sexual themes, and (for the time) crude language. One cover featured a naked pregnant woman; another had a parody of Willard's famous patriotic painting, "The Spirit of '76", with a woman and a black man. Avant Garde had a modest circulation but was extremely popular in certain circles, including New York’s advertising and editorial art directors. Herbert F. Lubalin (1918–1981), a post-modern design guru, was Ginzburg's collaborator on his four best-known magazines, including Avant Garde, which gave birth to a well-known typeface of the same name. It was originally intended primarily for use in logos: the first version consisted solely of 26 capital letters. It was inspired by Ginzburg and his wife, designed by Lubalin, and realized by Lubalin's assistants and Tom Carnese, one of Lubalin's partners. It is characterized by geometrically perfect round strokes; short, straight lines; and an extremely large number of kerned ligatures. The International Typeface Corporation (ITC) (of which Lubalin was a founder) released a full version in 1970.[wiki] BIT COIN ACCEPTED _____ Please Visit our sister shops for more collectibles: https://www.etsy.com/shop/QualityComicsAmerica/ https://www.etsy.com/shop/Neetorama --- Even More NEET STUFF can be found on ETSY by visiting these teams or using the appropriate tags listed below: VINTAGE: https://www.etsy.com/teams/11978/got-vintage-shops-team vintage, antiques, ephemera, gvs team, gotvintage, memorabilia, collectibles, https://www.etsy.com/teams/15100/rare-vintage-bookspapers 70s, art, book, rare, paper, magazine, photography, graphic.poster, https://www.etsy.com/teams/13509/vintage-magazine-madness/discuss/15327191/ mag, vmm, weekly, monthly, magazines, periodical, https://www.etsy.com/teams/10903/vintage-addiction mid century, promotional, vintage toys, vintage ephemera, vateam, retro, https://www.etsy.com/teams/7374/vintage-books vbteam, vintage books, booksellers, COMICS- https://www.etsy.com/teams/13611/comic-books https://www.etsy.com/teams/14497/dc-universe dc comics, marvel comics, justice league, batman, superman, superhero, https://www.etsy.com/teams/14767/marvel-excelsior comics, marvel, stan lee, excelsior, comic books, https://www.etsy.com/teams/15638/geeks-unleashed geek, nerd, anime, geekery, comic book, https://www.etsy.com/teams/10185/disneyana disney, disneyana, mickey mouse, ...
