‘Porn Stars’: The Complete 1982 Issues

‘Porn Stars’ first appeared in mid 1980. It only lasted for four issues before undergoing a name change and becoming ‘Skin Flicks’. ‘Skin Flicks’ was even more short-lived and lasted only two months before it was renamed ‘Starlet.’ ‘Starlet’ lasted for four issues, before reverting to the magazine’s original name, ‘Porn Stars’, once again.

The full story of the early years is told through the memories of those who were responsible for the magazine in an earlier feature in The Rialto Report – two of the magazine’s editors, Richard Milner and Manny Neuhaus.

By 1982, ‘Porn Stars’ was an established name on the newsstands, and one of the best magazines covering the adult film scene. The crew behind the scenes consisted of many familiar faces from another legendary sex publication, Al Goldstein’s Screw magazine, including Art Director, Yossarian, and Contributing Editors, Richard Jaccoma and Norman Jackson.
