Magazine Week, Day 4 - Physique Pictorial, Vol. 20

 


Volume 20 of Physique Pictorial was one of the first editions to feature full frontal nudity.  It was not, in my opinion, one of Bob Mizer's best artistic efforts, but it is worth presenting here in full.  First, an editorial note.  Mr. Mizer's page layouts in some cases forced the viewer to turn the small format magazine sideways to see the photos while the text at the bottom of the page ran the other way.  To avoid this, I have cropped and pasted some of the images and text so they are both visible at the same time in this online format.  The cover man above is Joe Valiant.

The original paper version of this publication was donated to me 
by Bill D., and I am tremedously grateful for his generosity.

  1. How I would imagine Jethro Bodine in a queer version of Beverly Hillbillies. Or a male version of Elly May Clampett.

  3. He doesn't qualify as being my type, but sometimes, they don't have to! More partial to brunettes, and he's dk blond or redhead, and prefer lightly hairy chests, and he's smooth, but damn! Those muscles. ! 🥳

    1. Yes, muscles were on the way out of style when this was published.
