"This fantastic new book pays homage to the American "men's adventure" magazines of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, and showcases just some of the thousands of items in Oberg's extensive collection. This hefty, comprehensive guide is 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."Illustration, St. LouisUnited States |

"Sexe, violence, exotisme, un brin de sadisme et très peu d'humour illustrent les unes des magazines masculins d'aventure depuis les années quarante. Splendide best of d'un genre délicieusement désuet."VSD, ParisFrance |

"The tortured campy legacy [of men's adventure magazines]... gloriously enshrined."The New York Times, New YorkUnited States |
