As I've written before, I'm a casual collector of vintage men's action or "sweat" magazines from the '50s and '60s. A little history:

These pulpy rags were tailor-made for former WWII soldiers who found themselves transformed into bored, emasculated suburban drones, and were extremely popular at the time. In fact, they were so popular there were well over 100 titles devoted to these types of magazines. The content was salacious—way more so than the Mercury, I'm sad to say—and would touch on such necessary topics as rescuing nymphos from Commie prison camps, how to properly stab an attacking shark, homophobia/eroticism, and killing "Japs/Gooks/Nazis." OH! And the acquisition of loose, semi-nude women, of course.

And I just found another to add to my collection from 1956, called Fury magazine... apparently because MEN BE FURIOUS!!

And if you think "clickbait" is a modern invention, take a gander at the table of contents for this particular issue. (Sorry, you can't click on any of 'em.)

Check out more of my collection here—but if you think these mags secretly reflect my worldview... you're wrong. The magazine I actually connect with most is AFTER THE JUMP.>>>
