MY MEN'S ADVENTURE MAGAZINES 8

MAN'S CONQUEST from June, 1965 features a Richard Conte look-alike on the cover plus a James Bond pictorial! Purchased on eBay several years ago. 

BRIDE OF CASTING DOC

To date, no actress has portrayed Doc's cousin Patricia Savage on screen (she's the one on the left in the image above, as if you couldn't tell).While Pat didn't appear in every Doc Savage adventure, she was in enough of them to make her a valuable, important and lovely part of the Doc mythos. It remains to be seen if Pat will appear in the Shane Black Doc Savage film and if so, which contemporary actress will play the part. But here are some choices for Pat in those imaginary, never-to-be-made Doc Savage films over the years.

Maureen O'Hara

Rhonda Fleming


Gina Golan

Sharon Tate

Honor Blackman

Inger Stevens

Jill St. John

Raquel Welch

Ann-Margret

Which one of these lovely ladies would you pick as Pat?

MY MEN'S ADVENTURE MAGAZINES 7

MAN'S CONQUEST for May, 1958, features a terrific giant octopus cover and who doesn't love a giant octopus cover? Purchased at a 2013 City Wide Garage Sale.

ATTACK OF CASTING DOC

Bill Lucking, pictured above, played Colonel John Renwick, aka Renny, in the 1975 DOC SAVAGE film. What other actors could have portrayed the big-fisted, dour-faced engineer member of Doc's Fabulous Five? I'm glad you asked.

Robert Mitchum

Clint Walker

Fred Gwynne

Ted Cassidy

Richard Kiel

MY MEN'S ADVENTURE MAGAZINES 6

IMPACT for October, 1957. I love this cover! Purchased on eBay several years ago.

MY MEN'S ADVENTURE MAGAZINES 5

CLIMAX, April 1961. Nice mixture of fact and fiction plus a pictorial on Ava Gardner. Purchased this one at a 2012 City Wide Garage Sale. 

MY MEN'S ADVENTURE MAGAZINES 4

Here's CAVALIER for February, 1960. In addition to the usual mix of "fact and fiction" this issue features a pictorial of then popular pin-up model June "the Bosom" Wilkinson. Over time, CAVALIER would drop most of the text features in favor of more cheesecake pictorials of lovely young women. I like the fact that the masthead of CAVALIER promises "this magazine guaranteed or double your money back" Just what exactly is being "guaranteed" here and did any red-blooded American male (young or old) who ever purchased a copy of CAVALIER, ever ask for double his money back? For the record, I bought this beauty on eBay many years ago, when I first started collecting men's adventure magazines.
