The DC public library has just announced it, while also looking for help to index it. For the first issue of February 20, 1981, there are two comics that I'm unfamiliar with - 'On the Corner' and 'G Street' both of which seem homegrown and lasted at least into the Sept issue I looked at. By the time I was reading it in 1983 at GWU, I seem to recall the standard alternative cartoonists of the time being in the back pages. FWIW, these are scanned from microfilm, and are thus darker than they should be, and also appear to be hosted by the Internet Archive on the back end.
Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Washington City Paper by helping us describe our new digital collection, and make more issues available online. The first year of the paper is available now in Dig DC.
Learn to create descriptions, called metadata, at this hands-on virtual event. No prior knowledge of metadata or the City Paper is required to participate. All skills levels are welcome.
This event will be completely virtual and registration is required.
