Vintage Early Issue ' Counterculture Era ' Original 75¢ Cover Price


Offered here is an original August 1971 issue of Penthouse, one of the most sought-after periods of the magazine's history. Early 1970s Penthouse issues are increasingly scarce, especially in clean, complete condition like this example.


This issue features a classic counterculture-era cover and period editorial content reflecting the social and political climate of the early 1970s. Copies from this era were produced in far smaller numbers than later mass-market issues and have a significantly lower survival rate.
