Page [1] [2] [3] [4]

“Sit up and pay attention for a history lesson in filthy mags! Expect everything from kitsch illustrations and toe-sucking to voodoo sex.” Bizarre Magazine, London United Kingdom

"After spending 25 years editing men`s magazines like Oui, Partner, Adult Cinema Review and Juggs and becoming the sexy editor for TASCHEN, Dian Hanson was in a unique position to author The History of Men`s Magazines. This impressive six volume encyclopedic set covers everything from those thrilling days of yesteryear when such titles as Spicy Mystery, Spicy Detective, French Art and Snappy fought a running battle with the censors up to the 1970s when they didn`t push the envelope but threw it away completely with hardcore porn publications." Femme Fatales, Los Angeles United States

"Geboten wird Anrüchiges, Trashiges, Erotisches und Burleskes. Nackte Haut und Klischees. Akribisch beschäftigt sich das Buch innerhalb der 17 Kapitel und über 500 Seiten mit Promisünden, bizarren Lebensstilen, Exotischem, der Verbindung von Männer-Magazinen zur Literatur und selbstverständlich Koryphäen wie Eric Stanton, Hugh Hefner, Betty Page oder Marilyn Monroe. Die Fülle an Bildern, Photos und Illustrationen ist dabei unschlagbar (…) Dian Hanson ist es so gelungen, eine bestimmte Zeit eines tabuisierten Genres zusammen zu fassen und darzustellen (…) This is fuckin` great!" The Flying Revolverblatt, Berlin Germany

"L`histoire illustrée et annotée (textes en anglais et français) de la presse masculine internationale. Une magnifique série en plusieurs tomes. Des centaines de photos et de couvertures. La parfaite encyclopédie du collectionneur: Volumes 5 à 6 à paraître fin 2005." Couples, Paris France

"You want to discover the strange and mysterious things that turned your dad on (possibly resulting in your own birth!), these magnificent collections of photographs, pin-up art, advertisements and cartoons should do the trick and might even allow you to figure out just why your father is so completely screwed up." Femme Fatales, New York United States

"If you like classy, colourful drawings of belles in garter belts and stockings and burlesque fashions, you'll love this. The battling Lassies certainly get our vote! We can hardly wait for the next volumes due later this year. Better clear some shelf space." Men Only Magazine, London United Kingdom

"Dian Hanson, Expertin in Sachen Männermagazine, hat 5000 Cover und Fotos zu einer opulenten 'History' vereint. Das Resultat ist ebenso sexy wie bizarr - 100 Jahre Männerträume aus Sex, Urbanität und Hedonismus in Wort und Bild." Bolero Men, Zürich Switzerland

"Dans une édition trilingue (angl./fr/all) véritablement somptueuse (ouh que c`est beau, ventre de bœuf !), le plus fortiche livre polisson de l`année avec ses panoramas historiques chiadés, ses anecdotes croquignolettes et son iconographie ébesillante." Le Journal du Mardi Belgium

"But wait, there's more! Hanson continues her guided tour of men's mags from WW II to the postwar era. Again: Tantalizing visuals, fascinating text. FOUR STARS." Todd David Schwartz, CBS Radio, Los Angeles United States

"Want to know what made Grandpop the man he is? It was the men's magazines he read, which were packed with stories about swingers, sex slaves and gang bangs. Dian Hanson's History of Men's Magazines Vol 1 and Vol 2 are coffee-table books that celebrate the mags in all their lurid glory, from 1900 to 1957." Playboy, Chicago United States
