This is March 24, 1973 cover of an independent newspaper in Portland, Oregon called the Portland Scribe.

The Portland Scribe was an underground newspaper that ran from 1972 - 1978.  It didn’t follow a set art direction, and kept a very DIY aesthetic throughout its six years of circulation. The Scribe had a circulation of between 5,000 and 10,000, with each 28-page paper costing only 25 cents each.
