A well-preserved and very substantial run of the Black Panther Party's official newspaper with the issues representing a large swath of the paper's content circulation and overall aesthetic. In terms of content Huey Newton was acknowledged as the chief theoretician of the Party and its newspaper though in terms of generating mass-appeal much of the credit goes to Emory Douglas: "Douglas's work on the Black Panther newspaper and for the party was fearless in content and style. He was the party's Revolutionary Artist graphic designer illustrator political cartoonist and the master craftsman of its visual identity. His distinctive illustrations styles cartooning skills and resourceful collage and image recycling made the paper as explosive visually as it was verbally.Part of Douglas's genius was that he used the visually seductive methods of advertising and subverted them into weapons of the revolution. His images served two purposes: to illustrate conditions that made revolution a reasonable response and to construct a visual mythology of power for people who felt powerless and victimized" Durant Sam ed. Black Panther: The Revolutionary Art of Emory Douglas pp.95-96. Contains an over-arching glimpse of the art layout production and content of the newspaper as well as the rise and fall of the Black Panther Party with issues ranging from the earliest days through 1980. Visually stunning and innovative in its design and layout they tell the story of the Black Panthers' struggle fighting racism and institutional violence and oppression. A key publication responsible for shaping African American revolutionary thought in the twentieth century; runs this extensive are very uncommon in commerce. The Black Panther Party unknown
