The numbering of the volumes is illogical in the beginning years up to about 1971. "After Dark" was originally "Ballroom Dance Magazine" which ended with its volume 9, #4. The new magazine's first issue continued the numbering of the previous magazine and so issue #1 is stated as volume 10, #1. By the third year of the magazine they changed the numbering to volume 1, #1. A fine magazine of arts, stage, dance and music that bridged the gap between gay and straight readers in the 1970s-80s. (Inventory #: 187275)
