He-Men, Bag Men, & Nymphos: Classic Men's Adventure Magazine Stories - Hardback

"Walter Kaylin, come back!" - Mario Puzo, author of THE GODFATHER"He looked like a divinity student, always buttoned up. Then the stories would come in. They were special ... seamless and outrageous and wonderful. I let him do whatever he wanted and he rarely, if ever, disappointed. He really deserves a tribute. I think of him as a treasure."- Bruce Jay Friedman (Stern, Lucky Bruce), Kaylin's editor at MEN, MALE, and TRUE ACTIONScores of great authors wrote for men's adventure magazines (aka MAMs)-Elmore Leonard, Jim Thompson, Richard Matheson, Lawrence Block, and Harlan Ellison, to name a few. But the wordsmith writers for MAN'S WORLD and TRUE ACTION envied most was Walter Kaylin.Leaving an indelible mark on three decades of sweat-soaked pulp fiction, Walter Kaylin tackled testosterone-fueled subjects from Westerns to war, secret agents to sex sirens, Nazis to noir. His frequently over-the-top plots and characters scaled new heights of ingenuity and invention, while setting the standard for the kind of unapologetic savagery and excess that made MAMs notorious-both then and now.Robert Deis of MensPulpMags.com and Wyatt Doyle (STOP REQUESTED), editors of the acclaimed Men's Adventure Library series, rescue a whopping 15 high-intensity Kaylin classics (16 in the expanded hardcover) from pulp fiction purgatory, along with jaw-dropping illustrations from their original magazine publication ... plus reminiscences by Kaylin, his family, and his former editor, writer Bruce Jay Friedman.HE-MEN, BAG MEN, & NYMPHOS rips the lid off pulp's best-kept secret to introduce Kaylin's unique brand of tension and tough-guy thrills to a new generation of readers. But be warned: These are not stories for the delicate, or faint of heart. HE-MEN, BAG MEN, & NYMPHOS hits like a clenched fist; get yours or get out of the way!
