Legendary Sex Tales

Total Issues: 1

A pornographic fiction magazine, published in quarto format by Gallery Press. The only issue was dated Sep-Oct 1972. Three companion titles, also one-shots, are covered elsewhere.

Usually collected as an associational item but otherwise of limited interest on its own merits.

Liberator [1918]

In 1918 the same people who produced The Masses, including the editor, Max Eastman, went on the publish a very similar journal, The Liberator. The journal published prose by Elmer Rice, Stuart Chase, John Reed, S. N. Behrman, and others, as well as information about socialist movements throughout the world (it was the first to break the news that the Allies had invaded Russia).

In 1922 the journal was taken over by Robert Minor and the Communist Party. and in 1924 was renamed as The Workers' Monthly. Many of the people who contributed to the The Masses and the original Liberator, were unhappy with this development and in 1926, they started their own journal, The New Masses.
