The first issue started with November 1956 with Candy Barr on the cover. The monthly periodical was encouraged by American News distributors which asked Weider to start a competitor publication to rival the success Hugh Hefner had achieved with Playboy Magazine. Jem published photos of topless models and featured articles about dining, nightlife, and wine. Its companion magazine was Monsieur. Jem was quickly successful although Weider says that he was never very interested in its viability.
A number of Jem issues feature Weider's wife, model Betty Brosmer, on their covers.
The magazine is referenced in Stephen King's novel It, where Richie Tozier peeks at "the half-undressed girls" in his father's magazines. In the book, it is called Gem.
