Sabrina in Magazine & Newspapers

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good pair of eyes - or at least a good memory - must be in want of Sabrina. And in the 1950s and 1960s, the press knew that red-blooded men could not get enough of her. Naturally, most of the coverage was pictorial, but there were a few gems of articles written with just enough words to justify publishing another picture.

Many of these magazines (those marked with an asterisk) were generously providedblighty by the mysterious Good Sir H , who prefers to retain the mystery of his true identity (as many of our contributors do - strange, that!). He delivered to nylon.net headquarters a massive bundle of original publications and glossy photos from the heyday of Sabrina. Several others have been personally scanned and sent by the devoted David Jackson , whose memory will forever burn bright in the Sabrina Hall of Fame .

Each publication has been lovingly scanned to milk its full, creamy Sabrina Goodness for distribution to the Sabrina Fans of the modern world. Draw the screens, settle back, and enjoy the spectacle of Sabrina in the magazines of the day.

The first 3 publications are undated. Anyone with any clues as to their publication dates, please let me know !

Missing In Action

There are about 195 magazines and newspaper articles that I have found over the years. But there must be many more that exist that I have not discovered, or cannot obtain. Here they are. If you have any of them, or know where tyhey might be, please get in touch.
