Honcho, January of 1981 - Part 1


Since I expanded my limit for vintage to 1985, I have been posting more material from magazines such as Mandate, Honcho, and Playguy.  While organizing my files recently, the Honcho isue from January of 1981 stood out for an unusual number of high quality models and photos.  Today I will be posting ten photos from that issue, to be followed in a few weeks by ten more.  For some reason, the cover and a few of the interior shots were Christmas themed.  Better late than never?

 

Tom Hartung

Tom Again


Here's a second view of Tom Hartung that I like better than the first.

 

Nova Ad


Sometimes the ads were almost as good as the featured material,
and this one by Nova isn't even one of the best.

 

Teaser


The rest of this piece wasn't as good as the opener.

 

Man of Steel I


The last five images in today's series are all from a single photo spread called Man of Steel.
The photographer is named as Michael Hoare, but the handsome model was not identified.





 

Man of Steel II


This is the first of two dual image pieces in the spread.

 

Man of Steel III - Centerfold


I think this was a centefold, but you can't see the staples
 because of the way my source displayed it.

 

Man of Steel IV


And here we have the second dual image.

 

Man of Steel V


 Our last shot shows the model looking across rooftops.  In a few weeks,
we'll take a look at ten more photos from this issue of Honcho.
