Ever wondered how Hustler Magazine came about? Back Issues delves into the unreservedly lurid, controversial and edgy media conceived by Larry Flynt from its nightclub inception through to its pornographic incarnation, as the aggressively downmarket, spread-legged dirty and wild magazine more commonly remembered today. Digging up and dragging out the colourful and crazy personalities, bold and boldly taboo features, not to mention the explicit and exploitative yet successful advertising model in which the magazine long thrived, Back Issues provides a comprehensive overview of the editors, writers, photographers, models, lawyers and entrepreneurial figures in a hazy mix of smut, freedom of speech, hedonism and capitalism as the cultural melting pot otherwise known as America.
