Chic (magazine)
Chic was an American pornographic magazine first issued by Larry Flynt, of Hustler fame in November, 1976. The publisher was CHIC Magazine Inc. based in Columbus, Ohio.
Intentionally less controversial than Hustler, but overall similar in content, early issues of Chic were oversized; the magazine changed to typical smaller dimensions in 1978.
In 1979, Flynt went on trial for obscenity charges over eight issues of Hustler and three issues of Chic magazine.
In 1984, a Texas woman, Jeannie Braun, successfully sued Chic for publishing a photo of "Ralph the Diving Pig" and her in the magazine. She had contended that the editor had misrepresented Chic as a fashion magazine. Chic ceased publication in the 1990s.
