Produktbeschreibungen

From Publishers Weekly

Alternately called "adventure magazines" and "armpit slicks," publications like True West, American Manhood and Challenge for Men enjoyed their heyday from the early 1950s through the early '70s. With their campy cover paintings of men at war, hunks on horseback and buxom women, these magazines gave blue collar workers "warnings, how-to's, and comforting memories of wartime." For Parfrey, they're worth looking at today because "they tell us so much about American working-class fears, desires and wet dreams." Parfrey intersperses this collection of full-color reproductions with essays by contributors on subjects ranging from exotica and "the sadistic burlesque" to the Cold War. The essays will be helpful to readers trying to make sense out of such images as UFOs closing their clamp-like hands around fretting females with their shirts unbuttoned (from Peril: The All Man's Magazine), and a burly, shirtless man straddling a flagpole flying a torn American flag (from Climax: Exciting Stories for Men).

5.0 von 5 Sternen Raw emotions and the armpit slicks, 10. November 2003

Von	Robin Benson - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen (REAL NAME)

Who would expect to see such a lavish all-colour book about this down-market corner of American publishing, not me but I'm interested in visual popular culture and 'It's a Man's World' is really quite a fascinating study of these 'slicks', produced from 1950 to 1970. They were edited by a small group of men who put out over six thousand issues of about a hundred and thirty titles. The leading publishers, Magazine Management went bust in 1975 and this particular male market slid predictably into soft porn.

The book rightly concentrates on the garish, dazzling covers, fortunately they all retain the logos and unbelievable cover lines and there are hundreds to pore over. Each cover (many shown life size) has a caption with the publishing date and where known, the artist's name. Leading illustrators like Mort Kunstler, Norm Eastman and Norman Saunders have a magnificent showing through all the pages. These covers were the USP of this particular market, a few of the magazines inside pages are shown and it seems clear to me that most of the editorial budgets were spent on the cover art. No matter what the title, it would sell better if some female, who always seemed unable to do up all the buttons on her blouse, was in a distressing situation just about to be rescued by a nearby white hunk.

One chapter, The Sadistic Burlesque, covers the titles that are most sought-after today. The paintings show sadistic extremes, mostly by Nazis or Commies, yet they were displayed on newsstands across the nation to be bought by any male. Perhaps for obvious reasons many of these covers have no artist credit. The cover lines are equally suggestive, the February 1963 issue of 'Men Today' promised 'Brides of agony in the cave of horror', 'Soft maidens for the monster devil fish' and 'Love captive of Castro's execution squad harlots'. Needless to say all the 'true' articles in these magazines were made up.

I found 'It's a Man's World' covered the post war pulps in loving detail and certainly worth getting if you are curious about popular art and culture. Now that these titles are (fortunately) gone men can read about themselves in 'The Von Hoffman Brothers: Big Damn Book of Sheer Manliness' (ISBN 1575440849) and I doubt that the male authors of this book would be seen dead reading the 'armpit slicks', they would be too busy being real men.
