Man's Book, February 1973
Man's Book
February 1973
Vol 12 No 1
From the dying days of the Men's Adventure magazines before they went full porn. A couple of topless spreads and tons of ads. The texts were very short, maybe four pages worth each at most. Man's Book lasted five more issues.

The Truth About Aphrodisiac Foods
They don't work and are dangerous. Gave a stat about heroin overdoses in NYC that works out to 800 a year - in 2021 there were 2668 overall overdose deaths, a 234% increase against just a 19% increase in population. Also mentions the "regulation" WWII era diet of 3000 calories a day. I looked up the study and it was more like 3600, but that may have been the baseline for soldiers in the field.
It's Raining Fire on Hell's Beach by Cpl. Ben Vetter
Brutal tale of rangers being decimated behind enemy lines in Italy. The highlight of the mag.

Forty Days of Frankenstein, Day Three: Back in the 1950s there was this array of "Men's Adventure Magazines," with names like "Man's Life," or "Argosy," or whatever. Covers usually featured paintings of manly men doing manly things, sometimes with scantily clad women-in-peril being rescued by said men. They contained lurid stories of adventure presented often in the first person as though true, and breathless "the real truth about" articles. The April, 1959 issue of "Spur" magazine contained the article "The REAL Dr. Frankenstein," (spoiler: no) with a two page illustration of a crazy mad scientist working on his monster. The monster half of the illustration, by artist Emile Ferrari, I present to you forthwith. Note that by this point, we are firmly in Karloff/Pierce territory, with many excellent stitchy stitches and head electrodes.
