Description: 8 copies from the 11 issue run of one of the greatest punk zines of all. Published by the folks that became RESearch. FROM WIKIPEDIA: The debut issue of Search & Destroy (1977), named after the Stooges song, focused on the emerging punk and new wave scene, with articles on Mabuhay Gardens, the hottest venue for punk in the city, and interviews with the local bands Crime, Vermilion, and the Nuns.[5] He stated in an interview, "...I sort of kept going, but I never thought I would make a living off it."[ In total, eleven issues of Search & Destroy were published, between 1977 and 1979.[ Like many other punk cultural figures, Vale saw connections between the punk movement and dadaism and surrealism, and he sought to explore these influences in his zine.[4] Cultural figures and groups such as William S. Burroughs, JG Ballard, Russ Meyers, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop, Devo, the Clash, Talking Heads, Weirdos, and Jello Biafra were profiled.However, the staff and scene that supported Search & Destroy eventually diminished in size. Vale explained, "It took two years to build up 200 hardcore people truly into punk, so that they just got into it 100% and quit working full-time—most of them—and started bands, or publishing, or taking photos, or making posters, or making clothes, or whatever they did. Overnight they all pretty much vanished."
