The first issue of an optimistically planned quarterly publication of subversive and abrasive art and commentary. From the magazine's masthead: 'This issue of 'friction' may be misconstrued as lacking in focus. If so, perhaps you do. Sharpen up that 'culture-unpopular urge' - read it again'. Contains features, commentary, fiction, reviews, comix (i.e. 'comics'), poesy (i.e. 'poetry'), and something called 'ear smash'. Stamped inside the front cover is a limitation box indicating that this was copy #174 of only 200 copies printed. Contributors to this issue include Glen Campbell, Cynth Thoroski, Donald M. Bailey ('The Crazy Mixed-Up World of R. Crumb'), Karl Nyyssonen, Doug Carlson, Bruce G. Tait and Chris Hlady.
