Pulp International - Rage+Magazine
Intl. Notebook Jun 29 2023
VISIONS OF THE PAST
They're as real as ink printed on paper can be.

Above is the cover of a fun vintage nudie magazine called Mirage, made in London by an outfit known as Swanedge Publications. We like the name of the magazine. Glamour photography implies the ephemeral. You know what else is ephemeral here? Pubic hair. The muff-munching airbrush monster has struck again, removing the fuzzy bits and vaginal convolutions of a couple of models. Pubic regions as obscenity is something we talk about often here because we share a lot of Japanese nudes in which those areas are banned. The difference is that in Japan the models covered those parts in various clever ways so they still looked human. In the West underpaid guys in pre-press removed nether regions entirely and made the models sexless like Barbie dolls. We'll talk about this more later.

Mirage's cover star, who's typing in the nude very much the same way we write this website, is identified only as Anna. Inside the issue is a tri-panel centerfold of a model the editors call Alicia, and she's bracketed by other models named Wendy, Kismet, Jan, Ella, Sylvia, etc. All of those are professional names, we assume. Meanwhile the photographers work under probable pseudonyms too, we suspect, such as Don Pleasance and Len Humber. There's no copyright on the magazine, therefore only someone who was around at the time could say for sure when it appeared, and that leaves us out. However, the look of it says mid-1960s to us. It's a nice publication. There are more pages, but only so much scanning time in the world. Maybe we'll return here later and do a more thorough job.

MACHETE KILLS
Chop until you drop.

Above is the cover (and title page) of Rage magazine from December 1961 with uncredited artwork of a man receiving his just desserts. We chose this because the full magazine was featured a few years ago on the website Darwin Scans, and it just so happens that after a year-and-a-half absence the site is active again. That’s good news for vintage magazine lovers, because few sites make full scans available for download (though the link for this is dead). We’ve talked here about making our many rare magazines downloadable, but frankly the effort is just too much—scanning pages of ads and mastheads and personals would make it impossible to post (nearly) every day, which is where the joy lies for us. That’s why Darwin Scans is such an important site—the sheer work requires dedication, and few have it.
