Playboy

Founded in the United States in 1953, Playboy was the title every other men's magazine measured itself against.

Its centrefolds, Playmates and themed series set conventions that later magazines borrowed, adapted or deliberately reacted against. International editions carried the brand into many countries, each with its own covers and local models. This site no longer keeps separate pages for individual Playboy features; this page stands in for that part of the old archive.

For the magazines that dominated the British newsstand in the same years, see Nuts, Loaded and more magazines.
