... As for including it in the wiki, I don't think that's a bad idea...
... unless you think I'm gonna do the work.

Go ahead and add a new section for this.

I'm working on too many other things to do it myself. To be perfectly honest, there's so much stray material in publications outside of the comix themselves that I'm loathe to even fathom the thought of setting forth to catalog it. I haven't bothered collecting these sorts of magazines and unless I had them in front of me, so that I could give detailed information, I wouldn't even bother.

I think it would be a great idea to put all the tabloids & newspapers in a separate section of the Wiki also, The Berkeley Barb, East Village Other, Chicago Seed, Yarrowstalks, Realist, 2 Bit, etc. should be defined in a different subsection of UG's I feel (comix, magazines, tabloids & Newspapers, 1-sheets ie., fliers & posters are the 4 sections I can think of now).  It doesn't have to be done right away, people can just add info. over time, but just the main sections/pages can be set up for that.

Oh, just thought of another, music media (ie., Saga of Yukon Pete, all the Crumb records, especially those of his own band where he did the art for the covers and sleeves).

There are also the miscellaneous items like rings, belt buckles, incense holders, money clips, etc.

There's always room for misc...

It's funny that you should mention music-related items. I've been trying to track down a copy of ridiculously elusive 32-20 Blues and came across a picture of On The Road Again, a 1971 LP whose cover was done by Rick Griffin (an image which also appeared in Man from Utopia).



I like the idea of listing these items.

Y'know, I could see the "Miscellaneous" category being a Showcase Gallery more than anything else.

Yeah, that seems like a good idea. No pressure to make it complete, just a place for interesting, related items that don't fit elsewhere.
