Knave was a long-running British adult magazine featuring softcore pornography, published by Galaxy Publications Limited.[1] Originally launched in 1968 by the photographer Russell Gay, it was the upmarket sister publication of Fiesta magazine.[2] Mary Millington modelled for the magazine in 1974, prior to her exclusive signing to work for David Sullivan's magazines.[2][3]
Along with many other adult magazines, Knave has published the works of popular authors, including Kim Newman, Dave Langford,[4] and Neil Gaiman.[5] The first issue featured a short story by Ellery Queen.[6]
The surrealist artist Penny Slinger appeared in Knave in 1973 in a photoshoot and interview in which she posed nude with her own artwork.[7][8] The artist and musician Cosey Fanni Tutti appeared as a Knave model in 1977, as part of an art project exploring pornography in which she appeared as a model in a number of pornographic magazines.[9][10]
Neil Gaiman's early short stories, including "We Can Get Them for You Wholesale", were published within the magazine;[11] he also worked at the magazine in many roles, including celebrity interviewer and book reviewer.[12] 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.[12]
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.[13]
Knave ceased production in 2015, after 47 years of publication.[14]
