Twink by Shure, Robert; art by Ray Zimmerman - 1957

San Francisco: Shure and Zimmerman, 1957. 30p., staplebound booklet, very good. The first, self-published version of this collection that was published by City Lights in the following year. Obviously predating the widespread use of "Twink" in gay culture, this is a collection of comedic dialogues between a character (apparently Twink himself) and his friend. Flashes of Beat aesthetic, but not queer. The dialogues were later recorded as an album, with the title changed to "Wink" in a later edition (presumably after the author became cognizant of the new frontiers of Twinkhood).
