ken magazine- volume 1 number 1- 4/7/1938- this is the inaugural issue with the cover story, the coming Moroccan revolt. the first fourteen issues of ken featured articles by ernest hemingway on the Spanish civil war. in this first issue, on page 36 of the hemingway article, it was revealed in a side caption that hemingway was initially contracted and announced to be an editor of ken, but he had thus far taken part in the editing of the magazine, nor in the formation of its policies. the caption goes on to reveal " if he sees eye to eye with us on ken, we would like to have him as an editor. if not, he will remain as a contributor until he is fired or quits." both covers and the interior pages are fully bound, intact and unmarked, overall condition is good.
