Print magazines are folding left and right, but here's a brand new one that just might make it: Burning Angel Magazine launched this week with the tagline "Porn, Tattoos & Rock 'N Roll," putting to paper the hugely successful alt-porn empire of Joanna Angel, the starlet behind (NSFW) BurningAngel.com, Burning Angel Toys, and a series of hit adult films with punk-inspired titles like Riot GRRRLS and Never Mind the DVD Next To This One... Here's Burning Angel.

Interesting timing, to be sure, given the economy and the declining state of print media, but some of the venerable old-guard adult magazines are celebrating big anniversaries this year – Hustler turned 35 this month, Penthouse celebrates 40 years of its American Edition this month, and Playboy just turned 55 this year – and Burning Angel has the advantage of having alreadly learned the ropes of online media and social networking first. The Magna Publishing Group, Burning Angel's partner in the magazine venture, is also responsible for adult titles including Swank, Velvet, Ultra, Genesis, and Gent.

Via press release:

BurningAngel and the Magna Publishing Group have launched Burning Angel Magazine, a 148-page print publication that will feature pictorials of Joanna Angel and the girls of BurningAngel, music reviews, interviews with celebrities and more.  The magazine is on sale now at new at newsstands across the United States and Canada.

Joanna Angel graces the first issue’s cover, with an exclusive layout, interview, and collectible pages for true fans of Ms. Angel. In addition to the lovely Joanna, the premiere issue features popular BurningAngel stars such as Jessie Lee, Jayded, Cadence, Draven, Asphyxia, Allister, Misti Dawn, Cali and many others in some of the most graphic, hardcore and hottest layouts ever published by Magna, with exclusive on set reports and photos. The inaugural issue also includes music reviews, interviews with Dethklok creator Brendon Small, Jessie Lee, and Joanna gets into the fun as she interviews herself.

Each issue sold will also include a Free BurningAngel sampler DVD featuring 5 full sex scenes (where permitted by law).

"The debut issue of Burning Angel is truly amazing,” says Dan Davis, Editorial Director for the Magna Publishing Group. “Joanna and her staff helped us create a truly remarkable publication that is fresh and sexy. Fans of both BurningAngel and adult in general are going to love this mag. While the web captures many aspects of the BurningAngel brand, nothing quite compares to the ‘flesh and blood’ of a glossy magazine you can actually hold in your hands."

Joanna Angel is excited to see her company forming its very own magazine. "I really think the world of adult magazines needs a publication that the 18- 30 demographic can appreciate. The BurningAngel magazine will be filled with humorous and sexy editorial, and hot tattooed girls throughout the pages. I am really excited, and I am very thankful that Magna Publishing is taking a chance on this."
