v6 #2 - I haven't seen a copy of 7/56 so the following comments may be off by 1 issue. This issue marks a new format for the title w/ the first all color FC and the first 2 pg color CF. It is also the first issue to have multiple pictorial features on a single model. Also the page count of the mag increased from 52 pgs to 60 pgs. Hildegarde Neff has FC + 5 pgs. Patti Griffin has a 1/2 pg pin-up on the inside FC. Lili St. Cyr has a fabulous 7 pg feature inc the first color CF. Pat 'Amber' Halliday has 5 pgs and Sabrina has 4 pgs. Articles on Wyatt Earp, Henry Miller, the Hispano-Suiza auto and fishing for sailfish. Bill Ward has a full pg B&W cartoon as McCartney. FINE copy is very bright & glossy - almost new! VG+ copy is very bright & glossy, has a few minor spine stresses. I also have a copy w/ a 3/4 FC that has the number '40' written on the FC and 3 sets of staple holes - 1 on top edge in center of mag, 1 on bottom edge in center of mag and 1 on the right edge in center of mag
