Front (magazine)
''Front'' was a British men's magazine. First published by Cabal Communications in 1998, it was created to rival IPC's publication '' Loaded'', catering to a demographic of 16- to 25-year-old males. It began as part of the British " lads' mag" genre of magazines, though the covers rejected this description with the statement "Front is no lads' mag".

Glamour shoots within the magazine usually involved well-known models rather than celebrities. The magazine had also been responsible for a number of high-profile stunts, most notably smuggling an Eric Cantona lookalike, Karl Power, into the Manchester United team photo during a Champions League game. On 7 February 2014, ''Front'' magazine announced on its Facebook page that it had ceased operations and the magazine would no longer be published. The next month, on 18 ...
