Playboy’s Taschenbücher

Published between 1976 and 1979 by BSV - Williams, Playboy’s Taschenbücher was a 15-issue German comic series that adapted Playboy's adult humor and pin-up aesthetic into a pocket-sized format. Known for its risqué, satirical content and European comic sensibilities, the series featured work by artists like Jean-Claude Forest and Guido Crepax, bringing a sophisticated, erotic edge to the medium. It stands as a notable artifact of 1970s European adult comics, bridging the gap between underground comix and mainstream magazine culture.
