Kansas City 'Westport Trucker' Returns

A worthwhile glimpse of an EPIC old school burnout mag has resurfaced in the archives of the city college amid the pandemic and a dearth of original and captivating content.

70s-era underground newspaper Westport Trucker gets second life in UMKC special collection

In the Depths of LaBudde Special Collections at UMKC's Miller Nichols Library sits a growing stack of the Westport Trucker, their covers scattered in neon colors and psychedelic designs, printed on crinkled paper that is now yellowing. That stack will grow just a little taller if Chuck Haddix can help it.
