Attack of the Maxim clones
Media Life looks at the attack of the Maxim clones. "While the better-known beer-and-babes titles continue to strike many readers as formulaic and crass, even their critics concede that they are skillfully executed. In contrast, it’s hard to see the Maxim Clones as anything other than cheap, ill-differentiated cash-ins serving up a reheated hash of locker-room jokes, “wacky” statistics and publicity-starved starlets. Like a clutch of newly-hatched sea turtles, most of them will perish before they learn how to swim, but one or two may survive, so you might as well learn their names: Razor, Stun, Controversy, Swung, King, Smooth."
