Fictional Monsters
Men’s Adventure Magazines
Here is a site guaranteed to chew up hours of your idle time.
My pal, Phil Stephensen-Payne, runs a page dedicated to the history of magazines. He recently put together a wing dedicated to the "true story" men's mags.
If you follow this link, you come to a page containing the names of over 150 such zines. Click on any title and be presented with a gallery of cover images like the one above.
Happy viewing!
