EYE
was the Hearst corporation's short-lived attempt (15 issues) in 1968-69, to cash in on the "youth market" and/or "counter culture" as the media had dubbed it, marketing it mainly to college students, but mostly young women, based on the abundance of ads and articles geared towards them. (Helen Gurley Brown was a senior editor). It was oversized, formatted like
LIFE
magazine, with a Peter Max inspired logo, and included "hip" fold out posters, flexi records and comic book inserts, (including Spiderman), in almost every issue to (hopefully) lure the kids.  It didn't work, but this poster is fabulous!
The back of it has interesting tidbits, articles about
various singers and bands and happenings by locale like SF, NY, LA and London. Measures about
19.5”W x 25.5”L.
Very good vintage condition. Never hung up but a few bites on the edges and a small tear toward the center.
Poster will be shipped folded, as taken from magazine.
Magazine is not included in this sale. Poster only.
