International Cover Models Magazine March 1981 Issue 26 Vintage Glamour SKU 1535

Original vintage International Cover Models Magazine, Issue Twenty-Six, dated March 1981.

A period British men's magazine combining glamour photography, interviews, entertainment material and adult-oriented features. This issue has a distinctive seaside cover photograph featuring a brunette model in a leopard-print outfit, with the large International Cover Models masthead across the top.

The original cover price is £1.25 UK / $2.75 Canada, and the cover is clearly marked as an 18+ adult publication.

Cover Features

The front advertises:

• Young models from Birmingham, Bristol and Newcastle
• A special books feature
• Interviews with rich housewives
• General glamour and adult editorial content

The magazine uses the strapline:

“The Magazine for the Sporting Man who likes Sporting Girls!”

Inside the Magazine

The photographed interior confirms the issue date as March 1981 and shows a mixture of editorial material, advertisements and glamour photography.

One visible editorial page discusses contemporary adult cinema releases and includes references to titles such as:

• Caligula’s Hot Nights
• Midnight Blue
• Emmanuelle in Soho

There is also an illustrated advertisement for Sven Adult Books & Adult Videos, giving the issue additional period interest as a snapshot of early-1980s British adult publishing and advertising.

The photographed glamour section includes a substantial full-page/double-page pictorial featuring the same leopard-print styling associated with the cover model.

This would primarily appeal to collectors of vintage British men's magazines, early-1980s glamour publications and period adult ephemera.
