ED GEIN'S WEIRD TRIPS

May 1978
Kitchen Sink/Krupp Comic Works
Editor and Publisher: Denis Kitchen
Cover: Bill Stout
Pages: 36
Cover price: $1.00

Yesterday's post was Dave Schreiner's article, "Ed Gein and the Left Hand of God", excerpted from DEATH RATTLE's October 1986 issue. Today's post from WEIRD TRIPS #2 is the same article, but predates yesterday's post by eight years, and as far as I can tell, is the first time it was published. It also contains several illustrations by Peter Poplaski that were not included in DEATH RATTLE. A story as good as this and as well-written, deserves to be reprinted! Also, don't miss the interview with Robert Anton Wilson, author, mystic, and all-around kookster.

Thanks for this post. Been wanting to see this material for quite a while. Went to college at UW-Eau Claire in the early '70s and befriended some people who were relatives of the local police in Plainfield at the time of the events. Though locals shunned (and still do) outside prying, I was told about extensive scrapbooks kept by some involved. No evidence or anything, but it might be interesting to be able to inspect those collections.
