I recently came across a partial archive of Honcho magazine. I have to say that my memories
of it seem better than most of the material in the archive, but perhaps my tastes have changed
over time. Having said that, there is a treasure trove of nice photos there, so you will be
seeing quite a few series in coming months. I'm starting with Volume I, Issue 1,
the very first Honcho from April of 1978. It will be a two parter,
with some mixed stuff first, and then a full spread by
Roy Dean featuring the cover man shown above.
What a trreasure! Discovered that honcho is a Japanese term, not Spanish, and implies a leader of sorts. This is a nice reflective mamory of a great porn rag.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the language lesson. Like most, I thought it was Spanish in origin. Glad you enjoyed the series.
DeleteHmmm… the Equus Complex ?
ReplyDeleteOoooh…Superman Sexuality and Phallic Fantasies !
I’ll take a copy !…:)
LOL, yes they knew who they were pitching to.
DeleteHoncho was always my favorite gay magazine. Always a nice variety of men, sometimes with erections, but never "hardcore." I have several issues from the late 70s that I've saved.
ReplyDeleteTrue. I wish I'd saved mine.
DeleteI have every one of the "border" cover issues (4 years, I think). Very hot men
ReplyDeleteQuite collectible these days.
