It’s a Man’s World

Description

Long before The Chap, men’s magazines, especially in America, concerned themselves with subjects such as how to fend of an alligator while your friend’s head has been bitten off, how to rescue a woman from a cage full of spikes in Germany, and the adventures of Sailor Morrell and His Hundred Brides. Men’s pulp magazines of the forties and fifties peddled a roughhouse world of tough men and seductive women, and this book explains how they came into being just after WWII and became more and more sensational and outrageous to compete with each other. Many covers get their facsimiles, along with commentary from some of the artists and editors working in this multi-million dollar industry. This large-format hardback has a manly 287 pages and is in very good condition.
