Body Beautiful was an "art" magazine that was mainly pitched to gays. Glenn Bishop was described in the accompanying cover article as "teen America's favorite bodybuilder." It should be noted that Mr. Bishop won several titles and appeared on the covers of mainstream physical culture magazines.

Wonder what year this is? Reason I ask is the mention of "Ektachrome." Unlike the older Kodachrome, which in that era had to be processed by Kodak by mail, Ektachrome could be processed at home (for "naughty" pix) or by "drugstore" labs. Unfortunately, Ektachrome had a problem with color shifts over time, as opposed to Kodachrome, which if properly stored, retains its vibrant colors. I have some slides of each type shot by my father in the 1950s that testify to that. -Dee Exx
