Kundzicz, Walter (Champion Studios) & Stryker, Jim (Model/Subject) : Jim Stryker: Photographs By Walter Kundzicz

The Body Builder Publications, Inc., Union City, NJ, 1962

First Edition / First Printing. Fine in No Dust Jacket, As Issued. 76 pages. Rare Jim Stryker and Walter Kundzicz/Champion Studios collectible item. A fine copy of The Young Physique Magazine June 1962 Issue. Features on the cover Jim Stryker, the single most popular and most good-looking male-nude model discovered by Walter Kundzicz, as photographed in 1961 in the studio, in one of his most beautiful and iconic portraits. It is encased in a protective plastic sheet. The cover shows Jim Stryker holding a phallic spear, scantily and markedly clad in white briefs, in crisp color. "Famous for quality color images of handsome, athletic young men from the late 1950's and early 1960's, these photographs of scantily clad athletes (packed with amusing props, costumes, and bulging posing pouches) are notable not only for the commercial success they enjoyed during their heyday but also for their enduring creativity and imagination. Kundzicz and his work left an indelible imprint on male physique photography. Today, nearly half a century later, Kundzicz's work and his most popular models continue to have their ardent fans" (Reed Massengill). Jim Stryker is the prototypical All-American male beauty. He anticipates by about two decades the model/stars of the reigning American photographer of the male nude, Bruce Weber. This is the genuine article, an absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, item for Jim Stryker, Walter Kundzicz/Champion, and male erotic art photography collectors. This copy of The Young Physique Magazine Issue is now collectible. As far as we know, this is the only copy available online and is in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a beauty. Please note: Copies appear online on a very sporadic basis, in varying degrees of heavy use, and at outrageous prices. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. One of the iconic American male-nude models of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JIM STRYKER, TUCK POWELL, JOE DALLESANDRO, AND BRUCE OF LOS ANGELES TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).
