Men's Adventure Magazines in Postwar America - Reviews
"L'esprit collector de la maison TASCHEN ne mollit pas avec ses "covers" des années 50 et 60 introuvables, nostalgiques et cruelles à souhait. Aventuriers musculeux sanguinolents et pin-up échevelées en back-ground, partouzes sauvages et jungles SM, rapaces, fouets, vêtements déchirés, soldats sadiques, vieux lubriques. Toute la quincaillerie mythologique qui peupla l'imaginaire GI's et parental excelle dans cette bible du pulp. "Real men" et autres exploits sportifs et aventuriers pour une bouffée de sexe à la papa (qui cachait bien là son jeu!)."Playboy, ParisFrance |

"Forty years ago, all a man had to worry about was Nazis in hiding, Soviet secret police, bloodthirsty cannibals, and, naturally, the Nude Love Dolls of Nympho Ranch. Or at least that's the impression one gets in reading the sublime new coffee-table guide, Men's Adventure Magazines in Postwar America (TASCHEN $39.99). Authors Max Allan Collins, George Hagenauer, and Steven Heller (working from the collection of men's mag-ophile Rich Oberg) romp through the testosterone titles of the '50s,'60s, and '70s--roguish, xenophobic "sweat" sheets like Fury, Safari, and Male--delivering a wildly entertaining portrait of the horny anxieties of the Cold War-ear American guy."GQ, New YorkUnited States |

"Forget Hugh Hefner, Henry Miller, and Norman Mailer. The real shock jocks of the 1950s were the editors of 35-cent pulp adventure magazines, like All Man, Battle Cry, Fury, Man's Life, and Man's Exploits. Men's Adventure Magazines in Postwar America is due from superluxe publisher TASCHEN later this year."Men's Health: Best Life, New YorkUnited States |

"Un siècle d'histoire des magazines masculins d'ici et d'ailleurs, autrement dit six volumes et quelque 5000 images répertoriées par Dian Hanson, spécialiste du genre : c'est la nouvelle épopée - trilingue - que proposent les éditions TASCHEN, reconnues pour leur sérieux jamais ennuyeux (...) Du très haut en couleur et en humour."Vogue, ParisFrance |
