Collection of five issues of Skin Trade described as a "punk/sex" zine featuring a provocative assemblage of pornographic imagery and punk record and live show reviews. Starting as a DIY photomechanically-reproduced zine, the publication evolved into print; it is a magazine where "sex and music collide". Editor Floyd Hardwick's views and comments could be intended as sarcasm, but the objectification and commentary is also offensive, out of context of shock literature. The sex portions of the magazine feature X-Rated movie reviews, interviews with porn stars and black-and-white pictures of nude women juxtaposed with text. Also includes interviews with punk bands like Agnostic Front and Killing Joke, industrial acts like bands: Nitzer Ebb and Skinny Puppy, and local live reviews in the New Jersey/New York area. Explicit imagery and language. Standard A4 format (8 1/2" x 11"), five issue: various paginations with black-and-white illustrations throughout. The first issues are photomechanically reproduced; pictorial wrappers appear with Issue #4. All issues are bound with staples. Some light spotting on the outer panels of the first and fourth issues; otherwise very good overall.
