Which reminds me of the wonderful Art book - you all probably
already know about it - is "It's a Man's World: Men's
Adventure Magazines, the Postwar Pulps," Adam Parfrey, ed.
from the wonderful folks at Feral House. Just chock full of
great fleshy sensationalistic cover art including the duly
infamous original of "Weasels Ripped My Flesh!" A must
have!
