Cover Description:
The cover photo, “The Pirates of Power,” by Doris Barrilleaux, features Georgia Miller Fudge, former WBBG Ms. Olympus, alongside Frank Calta, Mr. Florida. Posed as swashbucklers of strength, they embody the playful yet disciplined energy of classic bodybuilding. At the bottom, Will, the illustrated figure teaching “Power” methods, makes his debut—created by artist Lyman Dally and imagined by the MTI editorial team, signaling the magazine’s creative and avant-garde direction.
