Knave (magazine)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Knave magazine is a long-established British pornographic magazine, published by Galaxy Publications. It is the upmarket sister publication of Fiesta magazine.[1]

Along with many other adult magazines, Knave has published the works of popular authors, including Harlan Ellison. Ellison's short story "The Pied Piper of Sex"[2] was first published in the March 1959 issue under the name Paul Merchant, whilst "The Man with the Green Nose", also known as "Survivor No. 1", and co-written with Henry Slesar, first appeared in the September 1959 issue.[3] Other people to have been published at Knave include Kim Newman, Dave Langford,[4] and Neil Gaiman.[5] Gaiman's early short stories, including "We Can Get Them For You Wholesale", were published within the magazine;[6] he also worked at the magazine in many roles, including celebrity interviewer and book reviewer.[7] Gaiman began work at the magazine in 1984 but left in the late 80s because an editorial change resulted in the magazine concentrating more heavily on pornographic content.[7]

Eric Fuller, credited by The Guardian as "the man behind the success of Dennis Publishing's lad-mag, Maxim", also worked for the magazine for a time.[8]
