Volume 1 of founding Les Petites Bon-Bons member Robert Lambert's legendary queer art publication, Egozine.
Launched by Lambert in 1975, the three issues of this zine are an extension of the collective's work, following and intermingling the gay-glam situationist antics of the Bon-Bons with the underground art and proto-punk scenes they met along the way. The zine, primarily dedicated to the West Coast gay art world, features the likes of Genesis P-Orridge, Cosey Fanny Tutti, avant-garde Chicano conceptual art group Asco, Cavellini, John J. Baylin, Bon-Bons founder Jerry Dreva, among others, with numerous links to international mail art, the New York Correspondence School, and the early architects of American punk.
Each volume of the periodical was originally issued in both a trade edition and a limited Artist’s Edition, the latter containing additional original elements, including color xeroxed illustrations.
All issues of Egozine are very rare. Volume 2 is a signed Artist's Edition, limited to only 500 copies.
