The first issue of The Woody Creeker, a magazine co-edited by Hunter S. Thompson's widow, debuts Monday on the anniversary of the gonzo journalist's death.

The magazine will be available first to people in Woody Creek, where he lived, and will go out to subscribers later this week, Anita Thompson said Sunday.

Hunter S. Thompson shot himself in his home Feb. 20, 2005, following health problems. In August, friends and family held an elaborate private memorial service at his farm. His ashes where shot out of a 15-story cannon in the shape of a fist.

On Sunday, Anita Thompson made public a rarely seen photograph of her husband at his Web site, http://gonzostore.com . She said she was offering the photo as a free download to fans who had asked her about marking the anniversary of her husband's death.
