Publication record

Modern Man

1951–1967 · Monthly

A Chicago-published monthly that paired glamour photography with features on automobiles, jazz, firearms, and outdoor life — a useful record of how the mid-century men's magazine addressed its reader as a hobbyist first.

Publication history

Launched in 1951, Modern Man ran through the mid-1960s and spawned quarterly and annual companion editions. Its editorial mix — photography portfolios alongside service features and profiles — anticipated the formula later associated with better-remembered titles. Publication dates, numbering, and masthead changes in this record are provisional; our checklist is being reconstructed from source copies as they are accessioned.

Fuller histories appear in the Reading Room as research proceeds.
