Bruce (not ID’d in the magazine), photographed by Eros; who we think at least some of the work credited as “EROS” is by HY CHASE – like this one; often seen in “Janus” or “Satyr” publications.

Some of you may remember that a couple years ago I started to make an effort to credit photographers where possible; today’s post was supposed to be this simple photo, credit the photographer, and done. But what about a link? Jim Moss on BJland — oh, that’s embarrassing! I know he did a lot of work for Drummer, (quick search, Drummer 35, 36, 37, 39, oh gosh) and perhaps also directed a few pornos….director Jim Moss at GEVI. Hmmmm, not til 1988, but this photograph appeared in 1981, maybe a more interesting link…
stumbled upon this – The Gay Editorial Market and the Transnational Production of Racialized Desires which summarizes:
“This chapter focuses on the growth of the gay publishing industry in Mexico and examines how, since the late 1980s, some gay publishers, editors, visual artists, and pornographers in North America began to think of brown Mexican and Latino men as marketable. Some of those individuals were Hidalgo de la Torre, Jim Moss, and John Rowberry. The chapter argues that by creating a network and by producing and circulating gay magazines, erotic imagery, and pornography that capitalized on brown bodies, these men expanded notions of the erotic and helped to consolidate a gay market for these representations in Mexico and the United States. The chapter also offers a critique of these men’s work; while it expanded notions of the erotic and offered alternatives on the gay market, it also drew on and reinforced colonial mindsets that profited from the production of exoticizing images for white and/or middle-class gay consumers.”
And all that work for Drummer, which means you know I have a lot of pics going back 10-20 years on this page not credited… so much for the quick post and run!
what I could find, so far, of Minotaur‘s publications – seems they published just for 2-3 years, 1978-1981 at the latest. I had hoped to dive deeper, and include model names, perhaps other publications the images appeared in, but let’s just see if I have a complete list here:
- MAGAZINE #1 (1978) – 52 pages
- MAGAZINE #2 (1978) – 52 pages
- MAGAZINE #3 (1978) – 52 pages
- MANUAL #1 (1978) – Clay Russell cover – 40 pages
- MANUAL #2 (1979) –
- MINOTAUR #1 (1978) – with Clay Russell
- MINOTAUR #2
- MINOTAUR #3 (1978)
- MUSCLE TONE #1
- MUSCLE TONE #2
- SPECTRUM ISSUE #1 (1978)
- SPECTRUM ISSUE #2 (1979)
- CHAMPS (1981) pics from MAGAZINE #1 (1978)
CHAMPS may not have been published by MINOTAUR, but contained pics only from MINOTAUR

Hy Chase
all together now – “languishing in my drafts folder….” was an attempt to document at least some periodicals featuring photography from HY CHASE – an effort I’ve had on my “to do” list before, so back at least 4 years. So – let’s just see what we have, edit a tad, hit publish, right?
From 1973-1978, Hy Chase photography was featured in In Touch magazine. In the late-1970s, he photographed most of the male models featured in the Janus series of publications. (Source: In Touch for Men, Hy Chase Special magazine) That’s the one shown above and just below, which – all together now – “I sold in an eBay auction back in….” 2004. I would also add I think he did at least some of the photography for the “Satyr” series as well. A few others mentioned below.
- In Touch Vol1 No4 (1974) – 6-page BRUCE MORGAN spread
- IN TOUCH: SPECIAL EDITION #1 (1975?)
- IN TOUCH: SPECIAL EDITION #2 (1975?)
- In Touch Portrait of Wally (1975?)
- In Touch Portrait of Todd Peterson (1975?)
- In Touch Portrait of Steve Nettles (1975?)
- In Touch Portrait of David Miller (1975?)
- In Touch Portrait of Chuck Ballard (1975?)
- In Touch Portrait of Bob Diewit, Paul Rehus (AKA David Carter?), And John Hemm (1975?)

Nick (HONCHO) Rodgers
Remember a few weeks back when I discovered that Nick Rodgers was also a photographer? Back in the Gas Jockey post – and then I set out to find all his photospreads……but, alas, I’ve only come up with 3 – all nice, but was hoping for more!

apparenty it’s a thing on BJland – I drop pics on the desktop as a reminder to follow up / follow thru on a posting idea, and weeks, months later… sometimes I remember why, sometimes not – but here we are!
