Vintage March 1969 issue of men’s adventure magazine, Battle Cry. As an art student I was always fascinated with the cover graphics and how the antagonists were always depicted as less than human. The covers with the wild animals would also make my skin crawl. Looking back at it now, the covers were the best part of the magazine, as the pages within always failed to deliver. Battle Cry is not a widely seen title, and although the name evokes military themes, you can see that the stories center around scams, cons and ne’er do wells. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!

I believe I see a crack on the ice! Vintage February 1974 issue of British men’s girlie cheesecake pin-up magazine, Mayfair, with a great ice skating themed cover. Sleazy, cheesy and a real “rag”. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!

Vintage May 1982 issue of men’s girlie cheesecake pin-up magazine, Cavalier with a great Candy Samples cover. Sleazy, cheesy and a real “rag”. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!

Vintage May 1979 issue of premier men’s magazine, Argosy. At the time, the world was still reeling from the murderous activities of the Manson Family. Not to be outdone by the other magazines of the day, Argosy jumped in the fray and put the cult leader on their cover as well.

Vintage March 1963 issue of men’s adventure magazine, Rage - The Magazine for Real Men. As an art student in the 1960s I was always fascinated with the cover graphics and how the antagonists were always depicted as less than human. The covers with the wild animals would also make my skin crawl. Looking back at it now the covers were the best part of the magazine. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!

"Men's Adventure Magazines, the Postwar Pulps"

Vintage men’s girlie cheesecake pin-up magazine, Jackpot - the Cad’s Home Companion. Sleazy and cheesy. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!

A vintage men’s interest magazine published from December, 1947 to April, 1955. It was filled with photos and photo spreads of models, exotic dancers, and Burlesque performers in lingerie, bathing suits, and other scanty costumes, paired with humorous text stories and adult comic strips.

“She teased Richthofen into a bundle of nerves. What burning promises were in those passionate letters she sent, that unnerved Richthofen to his ultimate doom?”

Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (1892 – 1918), better known as “The Red Baron,” was a fighter pilot with the German Air Force during World War I. He is considered the ace-of-aces of the war, being officially credited with 80 air combat victories. Richthofen received a fatal wound just after 11:00 am on April 21, 1918 while flying over Mortancourt Ridge near the Somme River in France.

This vintage Playboy magazine features a "James Bond Girls" section with icons from the peaking Connery era of Bond adventures. Other "Bond Girls" issues were put out every few years.

“When I saw the barricade across the jungle road I told Maria there was nothing to worry about – I’d turn the jeep around and we’d drive back to Monrovia.

“But I was lying. I was plenty worried. A Liberian jungle is no place for a white girl. That part of Africa hasn’t been influenced by civilization; among other primitive capers the witch doctors still make borfina, a brew that is supposed to possess supernatural powers, from livers gouged out of living humans.

“I braked to stop, preparing to do a fast turnaround. I didn’t make it. About 30 yowling, painted-faced natives ran out of the jungle on both sides of the road. I jerked out my .45 and fast-dropped 6 of those clowns. But I didn’t have a chance to reload. The survivors pulled Maria and me out of the jeep and prodded us, at spear-point, into the jungle . . .”

“The white rhino was coming at me, charging for the kill. The long sharp horn in his evil snout came at me with terrible speed.”

The "Girl of the Month" is Marylin Maher.

“The tortured screams were driving me insane but I was caught in the coils of the monster and she was squeezing me to death.”

“They stripped me of everything – even the chance to kill myself. My mind became numb, and there was no reality.”

Kendell Foster Crossen (July 25, 1910 – November 29, 1981) was an American pulp fiction and science fiction writer. He was the creator and writer of stories about the Green Lama (a pulp and comic book hero) and the Milo March detective and spy novels.

His pen names included Richard Foster, Bennett Barlay, Kent Richards and Clay Richards, Christopher Monig (the name of the ghost of the town of Crossen on the Oder), and M.E. Chaber (from the Hebrew word mechaber, meaning author). Some bylines use the abbreviated name Ken Crossen. He is said to have written over 400 radio and television dramas, some 300 short stories, 250 non-fiction articles and around forty-five novels.[Source: Wikipedia]

“They clicked and scuttled obscenely as they tore the broken crab apart – then they turned toward us. It was fool’s gold, and we were the fools.”

“The American came roaring out of the mine shaft like a thunderbolt, wading into the banditos with his shovel.”

A roustabout Yank adventurer, he’d fought the world’s cruelest Indians and bloodthirsty banditos to hack out a $10-million fortune in nuggets. But his chances of getting out of the jungle alive weren’t worth ten cents.

“There’s almost $1,000,000 worth of emeralds resting in eight feet of black water. There’s also one skeleton.”

“Red gunboat – get back under before they see you,” Tess yelled, grabbing the valise out of Kane’s hand.

Soldier-of-fortune Andy Kane specialized in smuggling illicit cargo into every hellhole on the South China coast – but he’d never hauled anything as explosive as this sizzling bundle of curves called Tess.
