The story

Volume 1, Number 2 lines up thirteen names on the cover and seven films beside them, from "Members Only" and "Greenhorn" to "Sleaze" and "The Diary." The Marquee caption names the cover man as Jon King, the William Higgins discovery profiled inside, who co-stars with Colt's Bill Curry in one segment of "Members Only" and is "little brother" to Higgins superstar J.W.

The pages run from Al Parker's latest, "Turned On," to Signet Studios' "The Handymen," Toby Ross' comeback "The Diary" and Francis Ellie's "Boots & Saddles," with a bearded man working his way down a pair of zippered leather pants on page 13. Page 19's pin-up comes with a speech bubble: "I'm Eric! If you've got clogged pipes, I'm the guy who can open 'em right up! Call me anytime and I'll come quick!" Laguna Pacific's full-page "Members Only" ad follows, order form and all, and Gian Carlo from "Greenhorn" stretches out in the grass on the back cover.
