Search and Destroy was a San Francisco punk zine published and edited by V. Vale, who went on to publish REsearch (bound reprints of both titles are widely available). The zine was published from 1977-1979 in a tabloid format and included incendiary interviews, passionate photographs, cutting edge art. Search and Destroy was a corrosive minimalist document of the emerging punk youth rebellion, packed with an energy that leaped off it's pages. There were eleven issues published.
In Jon Savage's book about early punk entitled England's Dreaming, Vale said:
