Men's adventure magazines were a form of pulp publishing which
flourished in 1950s and 1960s America, pandering to the cruelty and
lust of young men with luridly illustrated stories of war, sleaze
and savagery. They arose partly in response to the inauguration of
the Comics Code in 1954, as a way of circumventing censorship by
presenting material in a new, "adults-only" format. The prime years
of the men's adventure magazine unleashed a visual and verbal
deluge of exposed and tormented flesh, bloody mayhem and sexual
delinquency, representing a unique cultural phenomenon in US
publishing and art. SOFT NUDES FOR THE DEVIL'S BUTCHER is a new
anthology which collects some prime examples of text and artwork
from a range of men's adventure magazines published during the
prime years of the genre. The book is divided into two main
sections: FEATURES includes a selection of sensationalistic,
semi-factual confessions and case histories on such subjects as
rape in Soviet prisons, Hitler's secret sex life, prostitution, the
persecution of witches, and other aberrations; and FICTION collects
vivid examples of garishly illustrated short pulp fiction, with
categories including war, white slavery, Nazi horror, jungle
savagery, Red menace, Devil worship, torture, sadism and erotic
carnage. The book also features numerous examples of interior art
from classic men's magazines, and includes 35 features and stories,
with more than 50 full-size illustrations, and 16 pages of full
color. Pulp Mayhem is a new illustrated book series of vintage pulp
fiction, art and pop culture.
