Drummer No 118 July 1988 cover

Shot solo by Jack Fritscher, Cover Photo is a well-designed shot of Keith Ardent in rubber boots, rubber vest, holding a rubber gas mask, with a plastic drain tube extended from crotch around tires with inner tube. The terminally-ill Keith Ardent expressed that his one unrealized fantasy was to be on the cover of *Drummer*.

Includes 10 interior shots on 8 pages. These interior color shots were the FIRST INTERIOR COLOR SHOTS ever published in *Drummer* and were heralded on the cover as “NEW IN *DRUMMER*! COLOR NUDES!” Issue includes cover features “Special Feature: Keith Ardent: 9-Inch Pec Stud in Black Rubber” (photographs and text both by Jack Fritscher, based on the video of the same name by Jack Fritscher and Mark Hemry for Palm Drive Video) and “Rubbererotica: Confessions of a Rubber Freak” (5-page feature article written by Jack Fritscher, plus 1 additional photograph of Keith Ardent by Jack Fritscher).
