OT: How apt... they wanna move the Flying Squirrels stadium to Shockoe Bottom...

[Rev. Powell]

I like these!





Grisly rites of Hitler's monster flesh stripper!

[FatFreddysCat]

Holy crap, these look awesome!! I wish these magazines were still around!!!

I imagine that the cover story of the first one must have inspired the album title, Weasels Ripped My Flesh, by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Haha

I saw an episode of American Pickers a while ago where the guys found a big stash of original cover artwork from magazines like these. I forget if the person whose home they were "picking" was a relative of the artist, or what, but they bought quite a pile of them. I remember one showed some sort of Satanic ritual involving a biker gang and another where a blonde in a bikini was tied up and about to be branded with a swastika shaped iron by a bunch of Nazis. Seriously, if I was walkin' past a newsstand and that jumped out at me, I would buy one. :D

The ways of True Men! Fighting off flying squirrels, spearing octopi, knife fighting turtles. What happened?

That is undoubtedly Sands Of The Kalahari all over again.

     This cover inspired Frank....



     On Pickers, did you notice the cover where the bikini-clad babes were offering shelter (and who knows what else) to two guys about to be trampled by a herd of moose?

     I was looking for that one.
