The literary evolution of American literature has had many branches; none more vital than what has always been referred to as populace fare. In other words, fiction that appealed to masses, regardless of their economic status or education background. The heart of this thread has been Pulp Fiction from its earliest iterations. Thriving in the 1930s and 40s, its rough paper format died out after World War II to be replaced by cheap paperbacks and Men’s Adventure Magazines, or MAMs.  

For the past decade, Robert Deis and Wyatt Doyle have been on a mission to not only shine a spotlight on those MAM titles, but to give bring credit to the talented writers and artists who created them. In this new, super packed anthology, they, along with co-editor Josh Allan Friedman, have culled a dozen of the best, wildest and most insane tales to have appeared in various MAMs throughout the 50s, 60s and 70s. From cover to cover, this volume is a blast, both entertainingly and informatively. From its now infamous title to its witty closing essay by MAM’s editor Bruce Jay Friendman, this book is a treasure.
