Homeboy

Not a skateboard company but a German fashion label heavily marketed to skateboarders (in Monster magazine) in the early 1990s. Recently revived - surprise! This is practically unworn and like new. My cousin (RIP) had the "teal" and black version.

Limited

Another German magazine. This was the pre-issue (issue number 0), had four pages, including the covers (i.e., one sheet of paper), and was called "LTD." (1994). However, they changed the name to "Limited" from issue number 1. Limited magazine was associated with the Wiesbaden-based skateboard distribution company ("ing" - or whatever they were called back then) in "southern" Germany (Hesse), a competitor of Titus' skateboard distribution based in Münster, "northern" Germany.
Issue 0
Issue 1, with John "The Man" Reeves and Eric Koston (sequence) on the cover (April/May 1994)
The January/February 2000 issue was the first in which the word 'Skateboarding' was made more visible on the cover. The reason for this was to make it more easily identifiable and to sell more copies. The skater on the cover is a man named "Bebe" in Paris.

MNC

MNC crewneck sweatshirt "" MNC All City Stars LA NY" (~1996)



Monster Skateboard Magazine

Monster Skateboard Magazine - we called it "Monster" - was arguably the most long-standing skateboard mag in Germany. It was in German, of course. And if I recall this correctly, it was originally started by Claus Grabke. The main photographer during the 1990s was a roller skater called Helge Tscharn. The magazine was from Münster and the title is associated with the Münster Monster Mastership, the big contest that all the US pros (and other international pros) flocked to in the 1990s, especially the early 1990s.
This was a special photography issue, titled "Fotografie No.1" (~1990). You can see that the layout is very non-American.
This is the earliest issue I have on hand: September 1990, with Patrick Kirner on the cover
This is the first issue on which they had changed the logo to make the "skateboard" more immediately visible and to thereby increase sales: May 1992 issue, with Alan Peterson on the cover
