Le Ore (meaning The Hours in English) was an Italian weekly news magazine published between 1953 and 1994 in Milan, Italy.
In 1966 Le Ore was acquired by Golden Arrow Publishing, with Gérard Méssadie appointed as editor-in-chief.
In the early 1980s, Le Ore had a large commercial success, mostly thanks to many celebrities posing in erotic and sometimes explicit situations in photoshoots, as well as thanks to the regular presence of the Italian hardcore cinema major stars Ilona Staller, of whom the magazine also published comic series inspired to her, and Moana Pozzi.
During this period, it also regularly presented other erotic comic series, often created by Aldo Rapetti and Otello Perandin.
[1][2] Because of the increasing competition of pornographic videotapes, in the late 1980s the circulation started to decline, and the magazine eventually closed in 1996.
