Description: WWII was devastating to Europe but the U. S. emerged with a robust economy. People who were encouraged to save every cent for the war effort now spent freely including on magazines. The U. S. quickly came to dominate the men's magazine market. Playboy launched in December 1953, made a huge impact on publishing but it was not the only American men's magazine in the 1950s. The quirky burlesque titles Beauty Parade Wink Titter and Eyeful featuring Bettie Page and covers by artist Peter Driben inspired a spate of competing titles. Much loved WWII pin - ups often of aspiring starlets led to news and nudes titles with cover girls Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield and to more lurid titles like Shock blending burlesque and celebrity scandal. In New York City a clandestine fetishist magazine industry bankrolled by the mob emerged first with John Willie's Bizarre then Lenny Burtman's female dominant Exotique. Argentina with a strong European influence produced sophisticated Vea (Watch) while England suffering paper shortages produced little magazines with big buxom models charting a path it would maintain through the 1960s. Then came Playboy. Eschewing the strippers Hugh Hefner offered up the girl next door eroticized innocence and espoused consumerism as the route to sexual success. This combination made Playboy the most successful men's magazine in history shaping international publishing for decades. Volume 2 in this series contains over 650 magazine covers and photos from the U. S. Mexico Argentina and England plus informative essays.
