Adam Magazine The Prosecution of Knight Publishing Co. Los Angeles, California

Knight Publishing Co. of Los Angeles, California ran into a hornet's nest during smut sweeps carried out in Union County, New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In October 1957 six arrest warrants were issued to Adam Magazine officers by Philadelphia District Attorney Victor Hugo Blanc. The D.A. described Adam as an "obscene" publication. My e-book looks at the ordeal endured by Knight Publishing officials as well as others like them. In Albany, New York there was a campaign against art magazines which targeted such offensive titles as Art and Sunbathing, Color Pix, Art Photography and Photo Arts.
