VENICE, Calif. — Black Label Magazine has released a deluxe print edition of Issue X, its recent adult-themed issue that features starlet Darcie Dolce on the cover and in a lavish 24-page spread.
Special features include “a gorgeous, glossy cover, thick paper and elegant packaging” that includes access to the digital edition of the magazine as well as a supplemental nude video starring Dolce.
The limited-edition periodical, at 9.5” x 12”, is larger than standard magazines and “looks more like a publication that belongs on your coffee table rather than hidden in a stash drawer,” a rep said. It runs 120 pages.
Lincoln Mark Lease produces Black Label Magazine. “He does everything but fall the tree and pulp the paper.”
Lease cited “unique challenges” in putting the periodical together. “I feel like it’s the revival of artcore,” he said, “bringing back something that I think as gotten lost as adult content has transformed in recent years.”
“I’m very passionate about the product and it’s as important for me to have control over every aspect as I try to create a magazine that reflects my vision. That includes everything from selecting and photographing the models, the art direction, the lighting, to the magazine’s layout and the paper it’s printed on and everything in-between. I’m fully responsible for the results and I like it that way.”
