Mark Healy’s yearlong stint as editor in chief of Penthouse — during which he attempted to bring the title more upscale and attracted name-brand photographers like Terry Richardson — ended late Thursday. He resigned and will return to GQ, where he was formerly articles editor, to be editorial projects director, both assigning and editing pieces as well as working on long-term projects and the Web. Healy told WWD that he hadn’t seen eye to eye with the management of Penthouse Media Group, which is backed by a private-equity firm in Florida. "They may be good businessmen, but they had short-term goals for a long-term business," he said. "They’re not committed to, or all that interested in, making a good magazine." He added that the owners wanted to take a more sexually explicit direction than he did (it is Penthouse, after all). Healy is expected back at GQ by the end of the month. "I had a good run for a while," he said, "but it was clear I was working very hard in a vacuum."
