    Bob Mizer's Physique Pictorial was so popular because it revealed the sexually ambiguous mid-century world of tough guys and muscle men. Read more below.

    Good news: The Bob Mizer Foundation is releasing Physique Pictorial, volume 44. The new spring quarterly is slated for release in early March.

    Last fall, the foundation relaunched the flagship magazine brought to life by male physique photographer Bob Mizer more than half a century ago. Mizer founded Physique Pictorial in 1951; the publication was designed to showcase the benefits of healthful living through a variety of muscular male models. Physique Pictorial ceased publication in 1990, at the time of Mizer's death.

    The new Physique Pictorial pays homage to male physique photographers both vintage and contemporary. Here are key highlights from volume 44 -- hitting the streets in early March.

    Readers can reserve their copy of the new Physique Pictorial, volume 44, or purchase an annual subscription at BobMizer.org.
