Adonis

[Return to Periodicals]

Background

Originally published by Joe and Ben Weider out of Canada, in editions for London and Jersey City. Apparently [research needed] sold, along with Body Beautiful to the British publisher of Male Classics. Renamed to Modern Adonis as of volume 18.

Edited by Hal Warner (pseudonym of Wally McManus), who appears to have been responsible for the gay perspective.
