AD / OBJECT EDITORIAL RECORD

THE STORY BEHIND THE OBJECT.

WHY IT MATTERS

"The first all color, all hard" issue, says the cover, and Target wasn't being modest. Glen Dime and Jeff Cameron, poolside, muscled, mustached and proud of it.

OBJECT STORY

Target billed this as "the first all color, all hard!" and they weren't lying. Glen Dime, Jeff Cameron and friends, around a pool with yellow cushions and brick, all muscle and mustache.

Every page is in color, with two- and three-man scenes by the water. There's some wear along the spine edge, but the pages inside are bright. Classic California poolside beef.
