Alpha Magazine
"For the head of the pack"

***  "Alphy"  ***
The "Alpha Magazine" mascot
by R. J. Bartrop

First published in 1932, Alpha offered articles on fashion grooming, and sports,
as well as other topics of interest to men. Featuring articles and fiction
by some of the leading writers of the day, it's probably best remembered
for the "Alpha Female". These illustrations of the female form
were created by a variety of artists, but probably the most famous
were the work of Argentine artist Luis Ramirez, not just for his art,
but for his grisly murder in 1938. The magazine declined in popularity
 in the post-war period, looking somewhat quaint compared to
newer offerings like Playfur and Pentmouse,.(via R. J. Bartrop)
