Hustler Magazine, January 1978 Issue

This is a vintage copy of the January 1978 edition of Hustler Magazine, identified as a 'Special Holiday Issue' featuring a 'Life-Size Centerfold.' The cover depicts a rear view of a nude female form covered in confetti against a vibrant red background, with the iconic yellow 'HUSTLER' masthead. Measuring approximately 8.5 x 11 inches, it is a standard staple-bound periodical published by Larry Flynt Publications. Notable headline content includes an interview with Garrett Morris of Saturday Night Live fame and an investigative piece titled 'The Desperate Plight of the American Indian.' The item appears to be in fair condition, housed within a protective plastic sleeve. Observable wear includes significant creasing along the spine, rounded corners, and visible surface scuffing on the cover art. There are noticeable reflections from the plastic sleeve, making it difficult to assess fine paper foxing, but the colors remain bold. This artifact represents a specific era of American adult media from the late 1970s, known for its controversial blending of explicit photography with political and social commentary. The presence of the original $2.50 price tag and international pricing at the bottom confirms its authenticity as a mass-market publication from the period.
