1. Gent

   Gent Magazine is a pornographic magazine published by the Magna Publishing Group, which also publishes Swank, Genesis, Velvet and many other popular men’s magazines. It has a theme of women with large breasts, and is subtitled "Home of the D-Cups." Begun in 1957 by Excellent Publications, Inc. as The Gent, it was one of a number of "skin magazine" startups at the time aimed at male readers in imitation of Playboy and hoping for similar success. It was soon prosecuted for obscenity by the United States Postal Service, but was found not obscene at that time. Skin magazines in general and Gent specifically proved to be a fiction market for popular writers like Harlan Ellison, one that was more open because it was "a little less constrained by fiction market formulas." It was again prosecuted in New York State, but the New York State Court of Appeals ruled that since it was not hardcore pornography it could not be found to be obscene. The case has been described as "for a time and perhaps even now [in 2003], [...] the single most important obscenity case decided" by that court and "the focal point for addressing the issues of legal regulation of obscenity in New York." It was prosecuted again in Arkansas, where a jury convicted it, but the United States Supreme Court agreed to review the case, bundling it in Redrup v. New York.
