that scrapbook mentality — collecting cartoons, photographs and lifestyle items in one spot — was an
essential concept for hefner’s future career. he just added lots of glossy pictures of buxom women
in the nude.

‘the comic book was a way of creating your own world and being center stage. and only years later did
I realize that when I started the magazine, and the way I used the magazine in my life, it had a direct
parallel to what I did in high school. the comic book became the scrapbook that I have continued then
throughout my life and now has over 2,000 volumes.’
