This original 1985 edition of Raider Volume 2 Number 9 stands as a definitive artifact of the mid eighties British glamour publishing landscape and offers a fascinating look at the era of the high street adult magazine.

The striking cover features the blonde model Fiona who is presented in a sheer mesh bodysuit and matching fingerless gloves a styling choice that epitomizes the bold aesthetic of the decade. Marketed as a publication for men who want the real thing this issue promises readers a deep dive into what it describes as a festival of the flesh. Featured articles and segments highlight Fiona including a piece titled come inside and stir fionas fabulous loins while the magazine also offered readers a free fifteen pound adults only gift through its internal promotions.

As a significant entry in the raunchy raider and riotous raider series this volume reflects the specific cultural transition of adult media during the Thatcher years making it a compelling addition for collectors of vintage niche periodicals and those interested in the history of independent softcore photography from the United Kingdom.
