While these spin-off publications gave Al a chance to blow his loose change and indulge his peculiar obsessions, he also wanted to occupy center stage in the men's mag field and they would win him no points there. Enter the aforementioned publisher Lyle Stewart. The two had once planned to bring out a biography about Goldstein entitled The Prince of Porn but for some reason it never happened. Now, in 1978, the plan was to launch something called National Screw, a glossy, color magazine-format version of Screw. Unlike The Prince of Porn, National Screw actually surfaced, but it didn't last long, unable to compete with other men's market glossies, particularly Hustler, which had also established itself as a no-holds-barred working class counterpoint to Playboy.

| Death magazine fascinated me so much more than Screw, I suppose because it was never around like Screw was. (Of course, neither is Screw anymore.) Are these issues of Death kicking around in any format? Love the book, btw. Another great one, Jack! |
