Kids (1970s magazine)

Kids (1970s magazine)

"Kids" was a children's magazine published in the early 1970s (unrelated to the later "Kids" magazine of the 2000s). Its aim was to create a magazine which was, as much as possible, created and edited by children themselves, with minimal adult supervision. Its founding editors were Jenette Kahn and Jim Robinson, who were adults; however, later in its history, it had a teenager, Denise Yuspeh (age 15) as its managing editor. Originally, "Kids" was published in standard magazine size, but issues near the end of its run, around 1974, used a smaller page size.

Among its illustrators was twelve-year old Ray Billingsley, who would go on to create the syndicated newspaper comic "Curtis".

Founding co-editor Jenette Kahn went on to be involved in Scholastic Press's "Dynamite! Magazine", which had some similarities in format and content, although it was produced by an adult staff. Later, she became the publisher of DC Comics.
