[Sin?t, Maurice]. Sin? Massacre. [Paris: Sin? Imprimerie, 1963]. 9 issues of this French satirical radical magazine, with profuse (and profane) illustrations. Complete run. Issues 1-7 are the collected version in 1 book, issues 8 and 9 are stand-alone issues. A total of 3 4to issues. All in original pictorial wrappers (some rubbing, thumbsoiling, a few pages of the collected issue are loose yet present). Very good. Rare. Nearly the entire print run of this magazine was destroyed after objections by Sir Allen Lane (co-founder of Penguin Books), due to the magazine?s ?athiestic and communistic? perceived content.
