EDITORIAL NOTE
STAG WAS THERE!
As we're sending this issue to print, America is cornmemorating the 10th Anniversary
of the Fall of Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City. Everywhere we look there are reminders
of that desolate war in Southeast Asia. The "Today Show" is broadcasting
live from Vietnam as cover stories in Time, Newsweek and The Atlantic recall the
painful, savage memories.
Here at STAG, where some readers might believe the editorial mind is incapable
of grasping anything beyond gaping pussy, oozing quarts of juice, we, too, are
thinking about Vietnam.
STAG was there! Along with their M-16's and their marijuana, freaked out GI's
carried us into the steaming jungles of the Mekong Delta. They read us in the
bars and hotels of Saigon.. Then, turned on by our pictures, they prowled the
streets and alleyways, hungry for exotic cunt, which was always available for
a price.
A decade later, we've not forgotten the GI, and, as sales figures indicate, they've
not forgotten us, either. They're still reading STAG in the boot camps of the
Deep South, on the NATO bases of Europe, on aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean,
in the jungles of Central America, and in the cabins of SAC B-52's that patrol
the globe 24-hours a day.
We want to continue giving the Armed Forces that kind of support they've relentlessly
given to us—and all Americans. In this issue, as a special tribute to all
GI's and the Vietnam Vet in particular, we're running one of the raunchiest stories
to come across our desks in a long time. Check out "First Cunt" on page
52 and let us know what you think. Your compliments and criticism are vital to
our existence. Without you there would be no STAG! -The Editors

About Stag
The first Stag magazine, published by Leeds Publishing Corp., beginning with vol. 1, #1 (June 1937), was a 25-cent, 96-page, digest subtitled "A Magazine for Men" and which included articles and stories by such writers as Carleton Beals, Elsa Maxwell, Bernard Sobel, and Hendrik Willem van Loon. It covered a range of topics, including literature, music, sports, and theater, along with stories on male-female relationships, sexual issues, and such topics as striptease.
A second volume, published by Official Com. Inc. and edited by Noah Sarlat, appeared circa 1951 as a 25-cent, 82-page, standard-sized men's adventure magazine. This version, containing ostensibly "true-life" fiction of men in wartime or in rugged adventure mode, continued through at least volume 22 in 1971, by which time it had published by Martin Goodman's related company, Atlas Magazines Inc., and Magazine Management Co., Inc., by which time the cover price had been raised to 50 cents.
Goodman also published the annual publication Stag Annual, starting in 1964.
Writer Dorothy Gallagher reminisced in 1998 that by the early 1960s, when Magazine Management occupied the second floor at 60th Street and Madison Avenue, "...magazines were produced the way Detroit produced cars. I worked on the fan-magazine line. On the other side of a five-foot partition was the romance-magazine line. And across a corridor were the financial staples of the organization, the men's magazines — Stag, For Men Only, Male — for which, at one time or another, Mario Puzo, Bruce Jay Friedman, David Markson, Mickey Spillane and Martin Cruz Smith wrote, until they became too exalted and rich to do it anymore." Cover illustrators included Frank Soltesz.
Stag transitioned to become a men's pornographic magazine, published by Goodman's son Charles "Chip" Goodman at Magazine Management's successor company, Swank Publications. The publishing group Magna bought Stag and its sister publication Swank from that company in 1993.
