This oddball magazine (and its partner mag, HIGH) attempted to innovative the men's mag of late 50s if only in terms of size and shape. Drawing from the tradition of off-size tabloid-style girly-picture mini-mags (such as CELEBRITY (which is published by the same company), TOPS, BEHIND THE SCENE and BARE) this mens mag is 4.25" x 11" exactly half the width of a traditional newsstand magazine -- and twice the height of the mini-mags! So, the odd size is not so odd after all, it grew out of the tabloid-style mini-mag format Similarly, content has its roots there -- for editorially, this is a combination of a regular Playboy-clone men's mag (nudie pix, fiction, cartoons, and gossip), but with the old tabloid-style stand-bys of freak-show journalism foto-articles about exotic tortures and bizarre customs in faraway lands.
