Dicks County Man began publication in 1958, as a local version of the men's adventure mags popular at the time, what the graphic designers of the day called "sweat mags" because of the profuse perspiration covering the hot, struggling, exhausted and handsome men in the illustrations.

Over the years it has evolved into a men's lifestyle magazine with a focus on local culture, lifestyle and issues.

Actually I like both finishes, but I think I prefer the first; it seems more crisp.
