Ironman Magazine #1

Who could have ever thought that a man who found a mimeograph machine in the trash would go on to establish one of the most beloved strength magazines of all time? That's exactly what Peary Rader did back in 1936. He and his wife Mabel printed, owned and ran Ironman Magazine for five decades before they eventually sold it. This was Peary's very first attempt at a magazine, called "Super Physique" and featured John Grimek on the cover. There were only about 50 of these printed. If you own one, consider yourself lucky.
