Eye Magazine was published by the Hearst Corporation (Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping) to cover the emerging youth explosion of the 1960's. It was marketed to college students (male & female) covering fashion, music, and politics.
Most issues came with a bonus item inserted for the reader (Posters, record, comic book). The last three issues had no insert. There were only 15 issues published between March 1968 and May 1969.
1968 & 1969 were wild times of women's liberation, gay liberation and civil rights. Those years also coincided with the Vietnam War.

I certainly remember reading Eye magazine back in the day. Mostly for the rock bands they covered, but also got a bit of 60's politics on the side, and the freebie posters and such. I thought they were intelligently written and nice photography. I remember one issue that feature popular groups of the day: Jefferson Airplane, Dylan, Country Joe & the Fish, and I wanted more, more, more bands to be highlighted so I could find some neat obscure bands :) Sort of a precursor to Rolling Stone I think. Neat memory.
It was a cool mag! I still have my copies!
