Physique Pictorial No.31, 1978 Original Uncirculated Bob Mizer Estate Beefcake

Description: This issue contains a few Bondage Photos in black and white. Bob Mizer was the first person to publish Tom of Finland's art in a 1957 Physique Pictorial magazine and was the person who dubbed Touko Valio Laaksonen as "Tom of Finland"! This original magazine is from the personal estate of Bob Mizer himself. They were stored protectively then, and have been stored protectively since then in comic sleeves on backer boards. Unless otherwise noted in the condition notes above, there are no torn or missing pages, no writing, and no rusted staples. Condition is like new, although it is an original vintage magazine from the 1970's. Has not been handled or browsed through. A true collectors item. Please view the pictures, they are of the actual magazine. Combined shipping is always available with any purchases from my store. Just add multiple items to cart and request an invoice. Any overage paid in shipping fees will be refunded. Bob Mizer The father of physique magazines was Bob Mizer (1922-1992). In 1945 Mizer started the Athletic Model Guild in Los Angeles as a modeling agency for male body-builders. Mizer, a self-taught photographer, recruited and photographed the models, carefully listing their vital statistics along with their real names and ages. Mizer sold his photos by mail, advertising them in men's magazines. By 1951 Mizer's catalog was so extensive that he began to collect his photos and sell them in a magazine format. Thus began Physique Pictorial. The first publication of its kind, Physique Pictorial showcased a generation of male pinups and bodybuilders, including the recently-deceased Jack LaLanne, Little Joe Dallesandro, Steve Hercules Reeves, and Mickey Hargitay (the husband of Jayne Mansfield and the father of Mariska Hargitay). Physique Pictorial also showcased the art of George Quaintance, Tom of Finland and Art-Bob. Physique Pictorial became a hit with thousands of men, and it was soon joined by a slew of imitators who hoped its success would rub off on them. (Bob Mizer Foundation)
