Maxim Magazine April 2004 Jennifer Ellison Nikki Ziering Jade Ball SKU 1541

Original UK Maxim Magazine – April 2004, with Jennifer Ellison as the main cover star.

Date: April 2004
Original cover price: £3.30
SKU: 1541

A substantial early-2000s issue of Maxim For Men, combining celebrity glamour photography, humour, unusual real-life stories, entertainment, fashion and men's lifestyle features. The issue is branded on the cover as a special “Bumper” issue, with Jennifer Ellison receiving the principal cover feature.

The magazine is very representative of the peak UK men's-magazine era and should appeal particularly to collectors of Jennifer Ellison memorabilia, Maxim, early-2000s celebrity magazines and British lads' magazines.

Jennifer Ellison Cover & Feature

Jennifer Ellison dominates the front cover in a specially photographed glamour image, accompanied by the large headline “Ellison Wonderland! Jennifer's Sexiest Shoot!”

The contents pages confirm her main feature begins around page 70, where she is again prominently pictured. This is clearly one of the principal attractions of the issue rather than simply a small cover mention.

Ellison was particularly prominent in British television and celebrity culture during this period, making this a strong period piece for collectors of early-2000s entertainment memorabilia.

• Nikki Ziering – featured prominently in the opening section.
• Jade Ball – pictured and listed among the issue's featured women.
• Schoolboy Crush feature.
• Miss Rebekah feature.
• Various additional glamour and fashion photography throughout the issue.
• Chelskis Boys feature, with football-related material.
• Entertainment and celebrity material alongside the main glamour content.

• Light rubbing around the edges.
• Some minor corner wear and softening.
• Light wear around the spine.
• Small handling marks and minor creasing consistent with age and previous reading.
