By [CHICAGO 8 TRIAL] [UNDERGROUND COMIX] [RODRIGUEZ], Spain (artist)
[Chicago: I.W.W. Printing Co-Op, 1969]. Illustrated broadside, 44cm x 28cm (17" x 11"). Offset lithograph, printed in black on white stock. Old horizontal fold; mild toning in margins, else Near Fine. A well-preserved example. Signed in plate, "Spain," lower right. Chicago I.W.W. printer's bug.

Satirical broadside issued to announce the opening of the trial of the Chicago 8 (later 7), who had been jailed for conspiracy and inciting a riot for their role in the Chicago street protests during the Democratic National Convention of 1968. This graphic by the prominent underground cartoonist Spain Rodriguez is evidently quite rare, not previously seen by us; we can trace no examples in commerce, and OCLC notes only a single physical location (UVA) as of March 2025.
