New York/California, 1960. First Edition. Staplebound Wraps. Very Good in Wraps. First Edition. Staplebound Wraps. Men's adventure is a genre of magazine that was published in the United States from the 1940s until the early 1970s. Catering to a male audience, these magazines featured pin-up girls and lurid tales of adventure that typically were promoted as true stories narrated in first-person by the participants or in an 'as told to' style. Usual stories included wartime feats of daring, exotic travel or conflict with wild animals. Many of the stories were actual historical accounts of battles and the biographies and exploits of highly decorated soldiers. In the 1970s, many of the men's adventure magazines dropped the fiction and "true action" stories, and started focusing on pictorials of nude women and non-fiction articles related to sex or current events.
