Published by Athletic Model Guild, Los Angeles, 1963
Wraps. Condition: Poor. Tom of Finland (illustrator). 5-1/4 x 8-1/4" stapled illustrated wraps. [32] pages, illustrated throughout with b/w half-tone photographs. Several pages with a dog-eared corner, two leaves with photographs missing (excised with scissors), a flawed copy, but bright and crisp. Bob Mizer founded the Athletic Model Guild (AMG) in 1945, and began issuing PHYSIQUE PICTORIAL in 1951 as a way to promote AMG's growing portfolio of male models and also the work of other artists and photographers such as Bruce Bellas, Tom of Finland, and Alonzo "Lon" Hanagan. The magazine continued until 1990, documenting the 20th century underground physical beauty movement, featuring "flexing muscle men both in costume and out, set among lavish landscapes or simply grinning for the camera in Mizer's studio," along with their bios and contact information. Over the years the magazine inspired artists as diverse as David Hockney and Robert Mapplethorpe, not to mention countless gay men world-wide. This issue features a Tom of Finland drawing on the cover.
