Helix (newspaper)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Helix was the first underground newspaper in Seattle, Washington, founded and edited by Paul Dorpat; among its writers were Tom Robbins, later known as a novelist, and Walt Crowley, who served as a cartoonist, writer, and editor. Crowley and Dorpat later went on to be two of the three founders of HistoryLink, along with Crowley's wife Marie McCaffrey.[1] [2]
The Helix first appeared March 23, 1967, and published a total of 125 editions (sometimes as a weekly, sometimes as a biweekly) before folding on June 11, 1970.[2]
