1980 to 1984: <i>Ancient Commoner</i> covers.
For now, here are a number of the front pages of the Ancient Commoner a photocopied pre-zine from the University of King's College edited from 1980 to 1983 by Marcus Snowden and then by Peter Nathanson. When I get access to a scanner they will all be entered in full.
