Knave was a long-running British adult magazine featuring softcore pornography, published by Galaxy Publications Limited. [1] Originally launched in 1968 by the photographer Russell Gay, it was the upmarket sister publication of Fiesta magazine. [2] Mary Millington modelled for the magazine in 1974, prior to her exclusive signing to work for David Sullivan's magazines. [2] [3]
Along with many other adult magazines, Knave has published the works of popular authors, including Kim Newman, Dave Langford, [4] and Neil Gaiman. [5] The first issue featured a short story by Ellery Queen. [6]
The surrealist artist Penny Slinger appeared in Knave in 1973 in a photoshoot and interview in which she posed nude with her own artwork. [7] [8] The artist and musician Cosey Fanni Tutti appeared as a Knave model in 1977, as part of an art project exploring pornography in which she appeared as a model in a number of pornographic magazines. [9] [10]
Neil Gaiman's early short stories, including " We Can Get Them for You Wholesale", were published within the magazine; [11] he also worked at the magazine in many roles, including celebrity interviewer and book reviewer. [12] Gaiman began work at the magazine in 1984 but left in the late 80s because an editorial change resulted in the magazine concentrating more heavily on pornographic content. [12]
Eric Fuller, credited by The Guardian as "the man behind the success of Dennis Publishing's lad-mag, Maxim", also worked for the magazine for a time. [13]
Knave ceased production in 2015, after 47 years of publication. [14]
Neil Gaiman reminisces briefly about how he, Kim Newman (see 1), John Grant (of whom more elsewhere) and I used to write funny articles in between the pictures of naked ladies in Knave magazine
my steadiest gig was for Knave
