False Positive, Nos. 1-11
San Francisco/Allston, Out-of-Kontrol Data Korporation, 1984-1988. A complete run of this 1980s 'zine edited by Donna Kossy. Each issue runs 20-32 pages, with a color photocopy collage cover by Kossy, and is dedicated to a single theme: technology; kooks, Japan; crime; food and drugs; sex; generic ("I have run out of reasonable themes for the moment"); kooks II; youth; cars; the last issue. Kossy abandoned False Positive to focus on her spin-off 'zine Kooks, her book Kooks, and her online Kooks Museum. Repeat contributors include Tuli Kupferberg and Pagan Kennedy. Laid into Issue 9 is an 8-page stapled photocopied chapbook by Kennedy called "The Green Girl (A Children's Polemic"). Laid into Issue 10 is a folded photocopied collage broadside on car care, apparently by Kossy. The full run is very near fine in stapled wrappers. [#032929] SOLD
