In Touch

Long-running LA-based gay mag that evolved a great deal during its existence, from a standard skin rag to an entertainment/gossip publication.

Special Edition vol 1 #2 
I'm dating this from the late 70s by hair alone. Half a dozen featurettes on men accompanied by nude solo photo spreads. Tasteful.

Issue #23 is a late 70s issue of this magazine when it was a more traditional nude rag. See cover for contents. 

Issue #83 from August '83  is a heavy-hitter under editor Jim Yousling. Where else will you find gay porn, a feature on David Hockney, Fear's Lee Ving, and the random Ed Colver photo of Nervous Gender?

Issue #98 from December '84 is a music knockout under editor Jim Yousling, with the usual mix of porn and LA gossip. There is a feature on what celebrities want for Christmas, including a request from regular contributor Henry Rollins. Also, a large feature on the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who got their start playing shows almost naked and built up a sizeable gay following.
