Battling dangerous beasts such as ferocious lions, venomous snakes, or swarms of man-eating weasels, the hunky heroes of men's adventure magazines were frequently depicted struggling to protect themselves and especially their buxom female companions from the gruesome tragic ends that threatened their every waking moment. Whether stranded on desert islands, clashing with motorcycle gangs, or shackled in prison camps, the magazines' male and female protagonists were perpetually fighting their ways out of dangerous predicaments. To pay homage to the American periodicals of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s that "documented" such outrageous exploits, TASCHEN brings you this hefty, comprehensive guide packed full of colorful cover art, sumptuous sample spreads, and enlightening essays. With an in-depth introductory essay describing the history, culture, and artistry of men's adventure—a.k.a. "sweat"—magazines, as well as chapter-by-chapter exploration of various subjects including the role of women and the portrayal of Nazis and Communists, this definitive study of the genre examines not only the popular appeal of the magazines but also their social and political implications. Also included are publisher listings and profiles of artists and writers, as well as an interview with Norm Eastman, one of the genre's most important artists. 373750 27 8 2004 Men's adventure magazines in postwar America : the Rich Oberg collection total:18|5:11|4:5|3:2|2:0|1:0| 18 81 33 6 2256217 3836503123 9783836503129 7 4 4.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1244036779m/2256217.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2256217.Men_s_adventure_magazines_in_postwar_America_the_Rich_Oberg_collection 4 9 false Sat Oct 04 19:42:13 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 04 19:42:44 -0700 2008 True Adventures depicts a red bikini-clad woman of indeterminate ethnicity in a matching red headband and three gold engraved armbands cuffing her left bicep.
