Wilcock, John was born on August 4, 1927 in Sheffield, England.
Graduated from the high school, Halifax, England.
One of the five co-founders of the New York Village Voice, Wilcock shook up staid publishing in the United States of America. His influences extended to several continents, including Australia and the United Kingdom, where — in his mild-mannered way — he pushed the boundaries of image and speech. An unsung hero of the sixties, Wilcock also served three years as a travel editor at The New York Times. Early career Wilcock began working for newspapers in his home country, the Daily Mail and the Daily Mirror, as well as magazines in Toronto, Canada.
Underground press After co-founding the Village Voice in 1955, his Voice weekly column lasted from 1955 to 1965, when he left to edit New York"s first underground paper, the East Village Other.
While coordinating the Underground Press Syndicate (200 papers worldwide), he guest-edited "underground" papers in London, Los Angeles, and Tokyo, returning to New York to publish his own underground tabloid, Other Scenes. Andy Warhol During a five-year association with Andy Warhol, Wilcock audiotaped the enigmatic artist"s closest associates, asking them to "explain" him, publishing the results in 1971 as The Autobiography and Sex Life of Andy Warhol.
This $5 biography became a rare book offered for sale on Amazon at prices close to $1,000. A revised edition of the book was released in 2010.
Wilcock co-founded Interview magazine with Warhol in 1969.
Ojai Orange Relocating to Ojai, California, in 2001, Wilcock began publishing an international monthly magazine, the Ojai Orange, free to his friends in a dozen countries, and all issues of this are now available on his website, along with his weekly column (now in its 51st year) and his weekly Public-access television travel show.
