Later was a monthly men's magazine (and "British lad magazine") ^[1] published by IPC Media from April 1999 to early 2001. ^[2]

History and profile

Later was established in 1999. ^[3] In an interview with Sam Delaney (who was deputy editor of Later in 2001 when he was 24 years old) in Heat magazine, "Later [was] designed to be Loaded for settled men in their 30s". ^[4]

Copies of Later magazine are quite scarce and hard to find. The publication run went to 24 issues. Although it won an industry award 'Britain's Best new Magazine' it had a low print run for each issue and few subscribers, certainly very view overseas subscriptions were taken. As a result of its scarcity, there's usually only three to six copies for sale online at any one time. There's some great articles and classic adverts within these pages; notwithstanding plenty of pictures of girls we used to fancy, most of whom are now in their mid to late forties and like us all of that vintage, look nothing like they did back then in 2000. I've enjoyed listing these copies of Later, going through the issues you can see how Later was so of its time and reflected on what a great time that was — no wonder millennials hate us !

Later was a relatively short-lived UK monthly men's magazine (and "British lad magazine") published by IPC Media from April 1999 to early 2001. Later was established in 1999. In an interview with Sam Delaney that appeared in Heat magazine, (Delaney was deputy editor of Later in 2001 when he was 24 years old) Delaney said "Later [was] designed to be Loaded for settled men in their 30s". As a settled man in my 30s when I bought these magazines I can assert to the truth of that comment.

The UK band Madness was interviewed in the September 1999 issue.

In October 1999, Later featured an article on Tiswas, a 1974-1982 UK children's television series.

In January 2000, Mid Night Club, a Japanese street racing gang, was featured in an article by Andy Wilman.

In April 2000, "the editor of Later magazine had declared fatherhood 'the new rock 'n' roll'" and "better known for showing men how to nurse their pints than their kids, supplemented its usual fare (scantily clad models, gizmos, booze, fighting and sports) with a section called 'Dad.' In an earnest attempt to meld adolescent recklessness and adult responsibility, its pages have included reviews of the toys a man can 'enjoy' with his children (Action Man figures, super-soakers and remote-control racing cars) as well as advice on whether children should 'know Daddy's drunk' or whether he should 'pretend to be a normal sober human being.'"

In December 2000, Later had an article on martial arts, commenting "Wing Chun is the close protection bodyguards choice." ^[5]
