About the Book
For 50 years, HUSTLER Magazine has been a cultural force—provocative, unconventional, and always pushing the conversation forward. HUSTLER®50: 50 Years of Freedom is a visually stunning coffee table book that takes readers through the magazine’s rich history, showcasing its most talked-about moments, groundbreaking photography, and unwavering commitment to free speech.
Founded in 1974 by Larry Flynt, HUSTLER redefined American self-expression, challenging societal norms and expanding the boundaries of mainstream media. From its early days as a small newsletter to its status as a media powerhouse, the magazine has left an undeniable mark on American culture. This book captures its journey through five decades of political and social upheaval—from the rebellious 1970s to the culture wars of the ’80s and ’90s, the digital revolution of the 2000s, and today’s shifting landscape of gender and identity.
Inside, readers will revisit some of HUSTLER’s most controversial and influential moments, including the infamous 1975 Jackie O issue and the landmark Supreme Court battle with Jerry Falwell in 1983. The book showcases unforgettable covers—like the notorious “Meat Grinder” cover of 1978—that sparked conversations and cemented the magazine’s place in pop culture. Beyond the photography, it features thought-provoking pieces by writers such as Charles Bukowski and Timothy Leary, proving that HUSTLER has always been about more than just pictures.
Of course, no tribute to HUSTLER would be complete without celebrating the breathtaking women who have graced its pages. This book highlights the magazine’s most iconic photo spreads—featuring stunning photography and some of the most beautiful women of each era—capturing the evolving aesthetics of the time period and the artistry behind the images.
The legacy of Larry Flynt’s Publisher Statements is also explored, revealing how his unfiltered critiques of political hypocrisy—through the Reagan years, the Clinton scandals, and beyond—made HUSTLER a unique platform for free speech and social commentary. The book also highlights how HUSTLER adapted to the digital age, embracing the Internet to reach new audiences while staying true to its roots.
With an in-depth look at features like “Beaver Hunt,” which celebrated everyday women and redefined beauty standards, this book is both a tribute and a time capsule. HUSTLER®50: 50 Years of Freedom is a must-have for fans of the magazine, media historians, and anyone interested in how one publication challenged convention, redefined adult entertainment, and left an undeniable imprint on American culture.
