Drummer Magazine Issue 223

Issue 223: The Leather Fraternity International

Drummer is a legendary gay men’s leather magazine which originally launched in Los Angles in 1975 and ran until 1999. It was the largest American leather magazine and has been said to have created the leather movement as we know it today. It featured writers and artists like Tom of Finland, Rex, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Samuel Steward.
