"The September 1984 issue of Penthouse, in fact, is one of the most famous — and infamous — issues of any magazine ever to hit newsstands. When founder/publisher Bob Guccione printed nude pictures of Vanessa Williams, the reigning Miss America at the time, people couldn't buy it fast enough. The issue sold 5.3 million copies — the second highest ever for a U.S. magazine."
That issue of Penthouse shares another ineteresting distinction. The Pet of the month was Traci Lords, and she was fifteen or sixteen years old when the pictures were taken. So, the most famous of its issues is also one of the hottest.
