Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Fine. See scans and description. A serious genre collectible. Box-shipped; no bags here. London: Sugar Ltd., 1996. Issue 27, from 1996 ('USA Edition' per cover, probably in reference to the likely editing of some age references). Roughly akin to a "Young & Modern' magazine, thicker and a… little bouncier, with the same teen-zine foci, but of course the celebrity part of the action is aimed at Brit celeb boys (almost exclusively pop/rockers), not American; also lacks the splashy supermodel ads in Y&M. Quarto, photo-illustrated perfect-bound wraps, 129 pp. Fine, but just micro-touched at bottom spine end (see scan); otherwise immaculate, cover to cover. No labels, of course. See scans. Cover model with the Gorgeous Skin is Tina, a Belgian teen flown to the UK for this cover shot. Apparently no Brit models measured up, skin-wise. And that is truly nice skin. Hook-titles are not celebrity-based, but instead attention-getting statements: Hannah Can Never Have Sex; Everyone At My School Is Gay; Do Boys Fancy Your Body ?; Footie Totty; They Locked Me Away for Christmas; Boy Posters. The 'posters' referred to are in fact pages in the issue, full page photographs, presumably removable. Can't find the calendar referred to on the cover at all, but it could be camouflaged in Brit-design, like the posters. Plenty of catchy ads, too, designed to appeal to.what your instincts were when you were the age you were when this issue was published. A collectible, well-preserved, better-than-off-the-rack-new example of an early issue of a down-the-middle-of-the-plate genre publication. Sugar - which started publication in 1994, quickly became popular, and earned the largest subscribership, through 2006, largely due to its sexual honesty in editorials, articles and its popular advice column (controversy sells!). Sugar outlasted most titles in the genre, which - like so many other magazine genres - mostly closed their doors and went to the internet for a slow death in the mid-2000s. Sugar, however, survived until 2011, when its publisher (Hachette Filipacchi, by that time) gave Sugar that same lethal web injection. A very collectible genre icon, in top condition. Shipped in a sturdy, new, protective box - no baggin' it here. LPR15.
