“No one listened to the political message in the articles, as it was overshad-owed by the scandalous pictures of young boys, which forced them – especially if they were gay men – to condemn the magazine as a whole. In the same way, no one dared to appreciate the beauty of the boys, as it was placed in a sexual-political context. On their own, each of these parts would have fared much better than they did when brought together. When the two parts were placed next to each other, they destroyed each other, like two safe substances which become explosive when mixed. That was exactly what had happened with Destroyer – the magazine was a bomb.”
Destroyer was largely a war between the concepts of Dionysius and Apollo. A war that rages on, long after the conclusion of the magazine’s run at ten issues.
