Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Collection of Vintage Men’s Adventure Magazines. Including Real Men, All Man, and True Men. 1959-1960.
This collection features four issues of vintage men’s adventure magazines, commonly referred to as men’s pulps, dating from 1959 to 1960. The magazines included are Real Men (December issue), Escape to Adventure (January 1960 issue), All Man (December issue), and True Men Stories (October 1959 issue). These periodicals are staple-bound softcovers in a quarto format, featuring the high-action, sensationalist painted cover illustrations characteristic of the genre. Signed cover artists include Prezio, Vic Donahue, Hirtle, and R. De Soto. Featured titles displayed on the covers include The Jungle Duel of Henry Klaw!, Trujillo’s Island of Torture, Swamp Venus of Andros Island, and Breakout from the Nazi Bitch Camp 1034. The back covers consist of full-page advertisements for the National Radio Institute, promoting correspondence courses in radio-television electronics and electrical appliance repair.
