Vintage Magazine Collection: Muscle & Bodybuilder Spring 1985

 


This time, lets take a look at a very rare issue of a magazine called Muscle & Bodybuilder.

Usually the articles from the bodybuilding mags are dreadful and not very informative, but this one is better than the ones that featured The Terminator before it. 

This issue from Spring of 1985 actually has some photos that can be considered rare even today (a photo of Arnold standing near the Police Station was not printed in any magazine prior or after this one, and also a shot from Tech Noir massacre was not very frequent either). 

The article is relatively brief but it must have been good for the times, although it simply reprints the section from the Press Kit. But that Press kit is pretty informative of course, and has quotes from Cameron, Hurd, Arnold, Stan Winston, Production Manager etc, and that's all here

The Terminator is sort of a cover story here since the cover includes an image of the Terminator albeit in a small form, while the majority of the cover is taken coincidentally by Franco Columbu with a model (Franco played the bunker Terminator). 

Anyway, it's got 4 pages on The Terminator, neat photos and good writeup with a lot of comments from people involved. For me it's a very cool vintage collectible from the time and I'm glad I added it to my collection
