Front: glossy and bright with straight edges and sharp corners, no creases or tears; a small white fleck in the lower left black-and-white panel near the edge and a tiny dark speck on the upper right photo. The vertical code and the thin dark line along the left edge are part of the printing. Back: the last photo, a full-bleed outdoor color photo with no page number, may be the back cover; it is bright and clean with sharp edges. Inside: the black-and-white four-photo and two-photo pages are clean and crisp with bright white gutters; the full-bleed color page is clean, with a tiny pale fleck at the lower right corner; a small spot of lost surface at the lower right of the full-bleed color page; a small spot of lost surface at the lower right of the full-bleed color page.
The story

The cover bills it as a "Wonderful World," stamps it Volume 1, Number 4, and then gets out of the way, with a collage of bare cheeks in color and black-and-white under the Main Man and Magcorp logos. A wet tank top in the shower, a jock peeled down on red satin and a hairy man sprawled on blue sheets make the editors' priorities very clear.

Inside, the black-and-white pages start in the kitchen, where one man reaches into the cupboards and another drinks a glass of water at the stove, then move on to a pair of jeans with the seat cut out, a man spread wide in cowboy boots and a hairy one face down on the bed. A full-color page of hands parting cheeks on a sunlit rock comes next, and the back cover sends two men off down a country road, one in boots and a white jock, his buddy barefoot in red with his shoes in his hand.

Why it matters

It's Number 4 of a magazine with exactly one subject, and the back cover, two tanned men walking away from the camera in jockstraps on a dusty road, is worth framing on its own.
