BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Hustler Magazine is celebrating 46 years in print with the release of an Anniversary Collector’s Edition, available on newsstands today.
The 46th Anniversary Issue features Amy Wilder on the cover and in a ten-page feature spread shot by photographer Ellen Stagg. The special edition includes a curated selection of classic layouts from yesteryear — including a three-breasted model and a “crossdressing pictorial” from 1976 — as well as some of the biggest adult stars, like Savannah Sixx, Romi Rain and Cherie DeVille.
Hustler first appeared in July 1974 and continues to publish monthly, staying true to its mission of “showcasing gorgeous women, cutting-edge journalism, outrageous cartoons and political satire.”
“Hustler’s aim has always been to bring readers what they couldn’t get from traditional magazines,” said a rep. “By November 1974, the magazine was printing its first ‘pink shots,’ or photos of full female genitalia. More often than nudity, however, it has been Hustler’s satires, parodies and cartoons that have proven the most controversial.”
Throughout his career, Larry Flynt — the subject of a special cover story earlier this year in XBIZ magazine — has been involved in numerous legal battles regarding free speech regulation in the United States. In the most prominent of these, he won the milestone 1988 U.S. Supreme Court case, Hustler Magazine v. Falwell, after being sued by Reverend Jerry Falwell in 1983 for an ad parody that appeared in the publication.
