Selbee, located in New York, was among the first of the specialty publishers to move out of the confines of the digest size magazines and into the standard, full-size format. Out of that came one of the most recognized and collectible titles Leg Show. Along with its sister publications, including Satana, High Heels, Stocking Parade, Pepper and Leg Show stayed faithful to the ideas set forth in the digests. Use great models posed in and out of lingerie with a preference for fetishy outfits and especially corsets, garter belts, stockings and high heels. Art director for the first issues was Eric Stanton, legendary illustrator whose artwork, along with colleague Gene Bilbrew's, appears regularly in Selbee publications.
Quoting from Serge Jacques, one of the legendary French photographers of the female figure: "... a photo is not erotic if the model is not wearing a garter belt and stockings"! Je suis d'accord Monsieur Jacques!! Posted here a selection of marvelous Selbee publications including a few recent arrivals as well images from the archives.
