DREKSLER LOBKOWICZ & BROTHERS PRESENTS MEETINGS WITH REMARKABLE PEOPLE NUMBER ONE (Los Angeles, CA: The Great First Amendment Company, c. December 1986).

4to. Stapled wrps., 97pp. Illustrated throughout. Front cover photograph by Arlene Lorre.

A one-shot (?) magazine published by Ellen Dreksler, Maximillian Lobkowicz and Larry Brothers (“the Rambo outcasts of the literary world”), following in the tradition of earlier “Reader Written Magazines” L.A. Star, Love, Hate, Finger and God, all of which were published by Lobkowicz (also known as Michael Leblovic or Michael [Max] Lebkowicz).

Laid in is a short note by Lobkowicz written on his letterhead stationery: “Dear Bill [Levy], it’s just the first issue and it’s soaring like an eagle. Would love to have any contributions. Will also be happy to list your work. Best, Mickey” (Levy, along with Willem de Ridder, William Burroughs, John Rechy, Truman Capote, Irene Mecchi, The Diva, and many others are named on the dedication page).

Printed in a small edition, deliberately expensive ($10), and with unpaid contributions, the magazine aimed to “assassinate unbiased journalism” and sought “love letters, journals, drawings, photos and home photos, incantations, dribble, scribbles, suicide notes, research papers, personal letters, verbal attacks, reviews, short stories, inventions, art portfolios and anything else that can be translated into print.”

This issue features artwork by cartoonist, poet and musician Neal Crosbie, and Overton Loyd (cover artist for George Clinton and Parliament); photographs by Robin Strober, Arlene Lorre and musician/composer Tim Timmermans; a text by film producer Joan McCormick; “Why Do People Go Off & Have Affairs?”, Tim Timmermans’ photo series of Dr. Susan Block, then the host of LA radio show Match Nite, later founder of the Dr. Susan Block Institute for the Erotic Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills (the director of which was her husband, Mickey Leblovic); several ‘Purple Pages’ of personal classifieds; erotic correspondence between Nancy (“a financial director of a major clothing company”) and Paul; and a piece on Birkenstock shoes featuring actress Louise Lanning, who opened her first Birkenstock Boutique in Westwood Village in 1975.

Near Fine (accompanied by the original, though somewhat worn, printed mailing envelope addressed to Bill Levy’s Joy Publications in Amsterdam).

A rare copy of this maverick magazine, the publishing company of which was named by Max Lobkowicz and Susan Block after their legal battles over freedom of expression during the 1970s (they were the first to publish Annie Sprinkle).
