Apparently, there’s more than one HANK on BJland – but feel free to click the link and check out all of them. These photos are from MEN of MAN’S IMAGE, which seems like a compilation, so I imagine HANK appears elsewhere, as well. I am fairly sure he is “just” a print model.
I love this photo of Max, (AKA BIG MAX) from the February 1979 Honcho…. but……
the original, from a year prior, in THE PHYSICAL MAN #6 (1978), gives more space, negative space, black space, whatever you want to call it, to the image – HONCHO crops part of Max’s left foot; the original you can see his entire foot, and you can more easily see why the right foot is partially hidden – in the black cloth/covering on the ground. The top image I scanned from my own copy of HONCHO, and I only cropped out the whited edge of the photo. Alas, my Physical Man image is from somewhere on the internet, not nearly as high quality, but definately, to me, the better framed version. Oh, and HONCHO credits “Man’s Image” for photography, but the original in Physical Man #6 actually credits the human beings – Carlo Palermo and Francesco Barone as the photographers.

Vol 1, No 1
anyone remember this post? Good. Then I don’t feel so bad. I did in fact have the magazine scanned, but, alas, the settings were way off and many of the photos were too dark.
It was primarily a personal ads magazine (probably 40-50% of the magazine)- with some very nice Man’s Image photography (maybe 22 pages, including front and back covers); and maybe 15-20% “regular” advertising like other magazines, erection “assistance” products. Let’s see, Gordon Grant, Big Luke, Bart.. a couple others. So this will have to do, as I don’t feel like digging up the hard copy, looking for the scanner, and re-doing, ok?

Boilerman’s Tool pt 1 Director John Gamble (1976) Big Luke, Rip Roren, and Bruce –
Funny, I was super sure I had posted at least a pic or two of Big Luke, but alas, one mention is all I could find with a simple search. Anyway, that top photos is probably my fave of his… and while he is quite handsome, I must admit that the images that use the construction helmet to shadow his face are sexier – just the mystery, and you can then only focus on the body, the cock… you know. And luckily he was in at least one film, so here you go!
I just acquired this magazine, and while it’s condition isn’t perfect (in fact, I suspect some pages are missing), nonetheless I just spent the morning scanning the entire thing. But out of the corner of my eye, I can see the thumbnail for page 34 looks a bit, um, bright. Dammit! So I scan again, and it’s nearly identical… hmmmm, so I finish up, am about to close the scanning app, and notice some funny looking buttons, and next to it a clickable button to “reset” – click, scan again, and now the scans look like the magazine itself, and no I am not re-scanning the whole dang thing!
While the original could use a bit of sharpening, I still want the scanner to reflect what’s there, then if I want, I can make a copy, and diddle, as I sometimes do (cropping, etc)
bonus, a business card was taped to one of the pages! Should I call?
