The missing Maxim article(s) by William Monahan

Bibliographic research is rewarding, though time-consuming, work. Recently, I brainstormed the idea of doing distributed bibliographic research, for which I will require your help! Despite my extensive research efforts, I am still searching for the Maxim article(s) that filmmaker William Monahan supposedly wrote for the men's magazine back in the late 1990s. I've narrowed down the span of years for which Mr. Monahan could possibly have written for Maxim to 1997 and 1998 (in the following years, Mr. Monahan is neither listed on the masthead, nor given a byline in any article). If you own an issue of Maxim that is anywhere in the range of issues 1 (May/June 1997) through to 14 (December 1998), then please help me out with my bibliographic research by letting me know whether or not there are any articles in your issue that are written by Mr. Monahan. If you do find a Maxim article written by Mr. Monahan, then you are a winner! For your diligent work of flipping through your Maxim issue, page by page, and successfully finding a "William Monahan" byline, you will win a lifetime subscription to Maxim magazine, which will even remain with your estate long after you die, so your children and grandchildren will enjoy this guilty pleasure too. Well, no, I can't really offer you such a prize, sorry. I can, however, give you credit for finding the missing William Monahan Maxim articles. Is that something you might be interested in?
