PROWLER PRESS GOLD #1 1992 Australia Gay Magazine Bondi Sydney London UK Vtg

$50 · Offered by eBay

The first issue of Prowler Press’s Gold Collection, a monthly series from the London publisher behind Euroboy, Prowl, and Hunk, and part of the Prowler retail operation that anchored gay Soho through the 1990s. Per the publisher’s introduction, the editorial team spent a month in Australia researching this debut issue rather than assembling it from stock material. Content combines photography with genuine travel and lifestyle writing: a Sydney guide, a Bondi Beach feature, and first-person pieces. That editorial approach — magazine as guidebook as well as pictorial — is characteristic of the British gay press of the period and makes the issue more useful as a document of early-90s Sydney and London gay culture than the American photo titles of the same years. Back cover carries the full Prowler Press line advertisement, itself a useful snapshot of the publisher’s catalogue at launch. Thank you for your interest! I’d like to offer you a special introductory price on this piece. It comes from a private collection and ships carefully packed, same or next business day. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
