Centerfold Centerfold The centerfold or centrefold of a magazine refers to a gatefolded spread, usually a portrait such as a pin-up or a nude, inserted in the middle of the publication, or to the model featured in the portrait. In saddle-stitched magazines (as opposed to those that are perfect-bound), the centerfold does not have any blank space cutting through the image. The term was coined by Hugh Hefner, founder of "Playboy" magazine. The success of the first issue of "Playboy" has been attributed in large part to its centerfold: a nude of Marilyn Monroe. The advent of monthly centerfolds gave the
Rogue (magazine) to check out their new printer. The next issue, Bruce Glassner accompanied Frank, and quit upon his return to Chicago. The following issue, David Stevens accompanied Frank. "Rogue" never could compete with "Playboy" and was eventually sold. The next issue, the sixth to appear that year, the last Greenleaf issue carrying the remaining Greenleaf staff on the masthead, was published in December 1965. Of note, the December 1965, 86th issue, the last Greenleaf production, contained: "Hey Look," an interview with Harvey Kurtzman who was a comic book artist at EC Comics and invented "Mad" magazine and drew "Little Annie Fanny"
