Rogue (magazine)

"This article is about a magazine, for other uses of the term see Rogue.

Rogue was a Chicago-based men's magazine published by William Hamling from December 1955 until 1967. Founding editor Frank M. Robinson was followed by other editors, including Harlan Ellison and Bruce Elliott.

The magazine was a direct competitor to "Playboy", offering nude and semi-nude photographs plus sex advice aimed at a male audience. "Rogue" featured a wider array of fiction and science fiction than did "Playboy", along with much coverage of jazz by Ted White and others. The first two magazine articles written by Hunter S. Thompson appeared in "Rogue" in 1961. Contributors included Graham Greene, William Saroyan and Philip Wylie. Departments were written by Alfred Bester, Robert Bloch and Fred Brown.
