Independent Eye
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Independent Eye is an underground newspaper, founded in Yellow Springs, Ohio. HQ moved to Cincinnati in 1969. First a monthly, later a biweekly, eventually a monthly, (following the arson fire on Labor Day, 1970) it carried stores about the people and events of Cincinnati, Ohio and the surrounding area.
During the heyday of the "Eye", as it's devotees called it, editorial duties were shared by Alex Varrone, Jennifer Varrone, Monty Sher and Ellen Sher. It featured cartoon art by Ted Richards and the photographs of Melvin Grier, among others. The staff split and several members formed the Queen City Express, a newspaper that focused on younger readers.
Regular publication halted in 1974-1975. The Independent Eye began publication once again in 2005.
