"Masters of MAMs": Wyatt Doyle at PulpFest 2025

 

Thanks to the kindness of fellow multi-hyphenate Sean CW Korsgaard, we're very pleased to share Wyatt Doyle's talk from PulpFest 2025: "Masters of MAMs." It's a brief overview of some of men's adventure magazines' (MAMs) leading lights from across their three decades of publication, with some explanation of why we believe they are important.

Michael K. Vaughan Picks WEASELS and NYMPHOS for GarbAugust!

"One must read Weasels Ripped My Flesh! for GarbAugust. One simply must." 

Thanks to our friends at Paperback Warrior, popular book vlogger Michael K. Vaughan is now the very happy owner of two of two deluxe hardcover editions from The Men's Adventure Library: Walter Kaylin's He-Men, Bag Men, & Nymphos, and Weasels Ripped My Flesh!

As you'll see in his July Book Mail video post below (titled "Weasels Ate My Postman"!), Vaughan couldn't be happier to receive the books, and immediately adds them to his GarbAugust reading list.

(What is GarbAugust? I refer you to the event's founder, CriminOlly.)

Michael, we can't wait to hear what you think of the books once you've tackled them...presuming you make it out in one piece.

Big thanks to Michael and to Paperback Warrior!
