Good Times was published by Samuel Roth. Issues featured fiction, poetry, non-fiction, and more, with plenty of photographs of women in various states of undress. Topless photos were the norm here. Some of the back covers featured nude photos of celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth, Olivia de Havilland, and others. The back cover of issue 7 featured a nude photo of Bette Davis showing what some thought to be pubic hair but it was just a shadow (see pics). The magazine ran through 1956. 

For more then a quarter-century, between the 1920s and the ‘50s, Roth was the nation’s leading "pornographer" publisher, pushing the limits of free expression more then any other American publisher. And though much of the material that Roth published was risque, none of it was really close to being pornographic. Regardless, Roth spent a lot of time in jail during his publishing career. 

It was, however, Roth’s 1956 federal indictment for sending allegedly obscene materials through the U.S. postal system that brought him immortality. In its indictment, the U.S. government accused him of publishing porn through a variety of media. In terms of print publications, it exhibited issues of his magazines, Good Times and American Aphrodite. Other media materials included stereoscopic pictures of moving women’s lips, thighs and breasts and “strips sets,” images of women undressing that simulated a filmstrip. Most provocative, the indictment includes reference to what was identified as “Wallet Nudes,” perhaps old-fashioned pin-ups? This landmark case went before the United States Supreme Court, which redefined the Constitutional test for determining what constitutes obscene material unprotected by the First Amendment. The terms "soft" porn and "hard" porn resulted from this case, and the difference between the two was officially recognized.
