"A GOOD WAY to describe John Wilcock is to say that he is a talented bohemian counter-culture journalist who once played a major role in the emergence of America's underground press. Born 1927 in Sheffield, England, he left school aged 16 to work on various newspapers in England, and on Toronto periodicals before moving to New York City. There in 1955 he became one of the five founders of the Village Voice in which he and co-founder Norman Mailer wrote weekly columns. Wilcock called his column "The Village Square", an intended pun. He and young Mailer were not quite friends, although Wilcock was at times annoyed, but always amused, by Mailer's monstrous ego." -From the preface of Manhattan Memories, by Martin Gardner His weekly column, which dates back to the early Village Voice years, and his cable TV travel show which has covered a score of countries, appear on his website at www.ojaiorange.com along with his personal magazine.
One of the most comprehensive histories of 1960s journalism ever produced - The story behind the creation of THE VILLAGE VOICE, THE EAST VILLAGE OTHER, and THE UNDERGROUND PRESS SYNDICATE. (Also: An inside look at Andy Warhol and Inter/View Magazine) - A documentary comic book, based on a seven year interview, JOHN WILCOCK: NEW YORK YEARS is a long overdue celebration of the work of a quietly overlooked "man from Sheffield, England", who moved to America in the 1950s, to politely: "shake it up a bit" -- collected here, in full!As seen on Boing Boing and in the pages of the American Bystander, the widely praised biography of John Wilcock is now available, the entire story collected in print for the first time.
