THE MEN OF REVOLT #1 1985 Man-Age Studios Vintage Gay Magazine Revolt Sweden

$115 · Offered by eBay

THE MEN OF REVOLT — Volume 1, Number 1 (1985). The premiere issue from Man-Age Studios of New York, showcasing the photography of Sweden’s legendary Revolt Press — the house behind Revolt, Killen, Zum Spass, Mr. S&M, and Toy. Shot on location in Sweden. Here’s why this one matters: Revolt Press magazines were routinely seized by US customs in the 1980s and almost never reached American readers. Man-Age produced this stateside compilation as the answer — making it one of the few legal windows US collectors ever had into Revolt’s catalog. The typewritten editorial inside, railing against the customs crackdown, is a fascinating time capsule of the era all by itself. The issue features story-driven photo layouts unusual for the period, including group sets of five and six models plus solos and a leather trio, alongside pages of Man-Age’s own studio work. Black-and-white throughout, with the quality Revolt was famous for. An uncommon single-issue title with original 1985 store stickers intact — we found no other copies currently offered anywhere. From one of the largest private collections of vintage gay magazines. Adults only, 18+. Don’t forget to browse the rest of our shop — we drop vintage LGBT+ gems every day, from bold covers and beautiful men to issues that vanished from newsstands decades ago. Ours is one of the largest private collections of vintage gay magazines anywhere, and we’re releasing it slowly, a few treasures at a time, so it’s worth checking back often.
