Publisher's Synopsis
Foreword by Bruce Jay Friedman Evil criminals, damsels in distress: the detective pulp magazine turned into something new during the Cold War paranoia of the '50s and '60s, becoming men's adventure magazines. This forgotten horror-filled patriotic genre, with its sinister, torture-happy Nazis, Reds, Cubans and animals was home to three dozen titles and some of the best illustrators of the time. Revisiting these magazines and reproducing more than 150 of the best covers and interior illustrations, It's A Man's World will transport you to another world.
