Drummer No 140 June 1990 cover

The Drummer No 140 cover, June 1990, is a solo Jack Fritscher photograph titled “Hard-Hat, Booted Trucker,” made as publicity for his video Daddy Made Me Eat His Tools and carrying the cover line “The Sociology of the Urban Bear.” The issue also ran four color pages of model Randy Rann, shot by Fritscher for a forthcoming Palm Drive Video.

Shot solo by Jack Fritscher, Cover Photograph “Hard-Hat, Booted Trucker,” shot by Jack Fritscher as publicity for the Jack Fritscher video *Daddy Made Me Eat His Tools*, with cover copy “The Sociology of the Urban Bear.” Includes 4 full-color pages of 4 full-page color photographs of model Randy Rann shot by Jack Fritscher, titled “Randy: A Hot Carpenter Bear from a Forth-Coming Palm Drive Video.” (In this immediately post-1989-earthquake issue, publisher Anthony DeBlase ran an ad saying, due to earthquake damage, “Drummer Is For Sale.”)

Interior to the issue is a photograph titled “Goliath in Truck with Cigar” by Jack Fritscher, full-page on page 20, with a second “Goliath” shot on page 23. “Goliath” appears again on the cover of the coffee-table photography book, shot by Fritscher, titled Jack Fritscher’s American Men. The “Goliath” cover of American Men, printed in black-and-white, appeared in full color as the cover of Brush Creek Media’s Powerplay #10, May 1996. Goliath was also featured on the cover of Dungeonmaster #47 (January 1994) and Checkmate (Incorporating Dungeonmaster) 18 (February 1997).

On Drummer #140, page 83, there is published a photograph shot by Jack Fritscher-Mark Hemry in Amsterdam (May 1989) for the video *The Argos Session*, which Fritscher-Hemry shot for director Roger Earl and producer Terry LeGrand of Marathon Studios.
