PETER MAX MAGAZINES N. 1 & 2 1970

This is the first issue of the PETER MAX magazine. It had a lot of intersting stuff for that time mainly esoteric text, unique Peter's graphic expressions and it reflects a Psychedelic influence of the Sixties. Very uncommon, a comic strip with Mickey Mouse and a travesti Bugs Bunny with mustache and long black hair (Peter) that leads Mickey through a wild journey through space and time.
Also, there's even a thermograph (heat design) of Max's face and even an X-ray of his Skull... so very weird. The back page, is a very funny LOVE cereal that probably ws sponsored by the Max studio. Ah, cannot forget a Vegan culinary recipt as well.
