"There
is nothing better that life can offer than to allow a person to expend
himself fully with all the strength of his mind and soul and to devote
his entire being to creative activity." —Konrad
Adenauer, 1917
First published by Penthouse mogul Bob Guccione and his partner Kathy Keeton beginning in 1978, Omni was a behemoth for several years, with circulation topping 1 million for a while. But it went into decline and finally stopped publishing in 1995, though an online-only version continued for several years.
A few years ago, Omni returned to print, published by the current owners of Penthouse. The first, (re)-premiere issue was solid and promising. However, no second issue has appeared of this new Omni, so it looks like the resurrection didn't take.
