Was there a girlie magazine more consistent than Modern Man with its covers? Where Playboy, Tiger, Rogue, Fling, etc. would get creative - Modern Man was steadfast in its faithfulness to the One Woman w/ Cleavage layout.
Never did it experiment with maybe adding two women. Never did it go heavy on the props and setting. Simplicity ruled on Modern Man: Just feature a chick with cleavage and be done with it.
Modern Man came before Playboy (1951), but it didn't last as long. Wikipedia has it expiring in 1967; however, as the covers below attest - it was alive and well in the 1970s.
So, here's a giant stack of Modern Man covers, keepin' it simple. It's interesting to see, as we scroll through the years, the amount of skin gradually increases. Enjoy.
