12 Best Playboy Covers
On December 1, 1953, the first issue of the men's magazine Playboy appeared on newsstands in Chicago. The publication was published in 70 thousand copies, and its founder Hugh Hefner at first even doubted that he would ever release a second issue. The magazine played a huge role in the country's sexual revolution in the 1960s and 1980s. For half a century, Playboy has become one of the most recognizable brands around the world.
