For day five of Magazine Week, I am posting a Colt booklet called Gallery 5 that might
have been the major photo spread debut of Ledermeister, aka Paul Gerrior.
I am posting it without comment, but yours are invited, as always.

Magazine Week, Day 4 - Physique Pictorial, Vol. 20
Volume 20 of Physique Pictorial was one of the first editions to feature full frontal nudity. It was not, in my opinion, one of Bob Mizer's best artistic efforts, but it is worth presenting here in full. First, an editorial note. Mr. Mizer's page layouts in some cases forced the viewer to turn the small format magazine sideways to see the photos while the text at the bottom of the page ran the other way. To avoid this, I have cropped and pasted some of the images and text so they are both visible at the same time in this online format. The cover man above is Joe Valiant.
The original paper version of this publication was donated to me
by Bill D., and I am tremedously grateful for his generosity.

Magazine Week, Day 3 - Superman
We've done the Germans and the French, so now we move to the British in the 1930s. Superman was a physical culture monthly published between 1930 and 1941. Like others of its era and type, there were not frontals, but there were some fine derrieres and good posing strap teases, as on the January 1939 cover above. And you could have it for just six pence.
Average?
Are you an average man? We'll never quite know about
this model because the key goods are covered.
