Oh, where to begin?! “The Rebel harlots beckoned to lusting Yankees.” Or perhaps, the mad title itself – “The Desperate Raid of the Rebel Pink Panty Platoon.” One might as easily cite the introductory paragraph – “Diane’s lovely wantons marched to the tune of a sultry love song. Their battle banner was a petticoat waiving in the breeze. They were the South’s deadliest weapon.” Man’s Escape, February 1964 issue.

Strangely enough, this amazing men's adventure magazine cover features a pinkish-hued and sparsely-clad saboteur, but it is a grossly misleading illustration for "The Desperate Raid of the Pink Panty Platoon" hinted at inside. Instead, that story takes place during the American Civil War, not World War II as one might conclude from the cover. The outrageous splash illustration for that tale of rebel creativity can be seen nearby in my photostream. Man’s Escape, February 1964 issue.

No worries - this Tarzan clone predates the video game of the same name from the 80's! Toka Jungle King - Issue No. 1 August 1964.

The Gold Key series Space Family Robinson actually predates the television series Lost in Space, which stars another namesake family, the Robinsons. Instead of Will and Penny, we have here youngsters Tim and Tam, whose parents Craig and June are also scientists like the crew from Lost in Space. Absent, however, from this earlier series are the meddlesome stowaway-saboteur, Dr. Smith, and his oft-reluctant companion, the Robot. Space Family Robinson - Issue no. 7, April 1964.

This April 1964 issue of For Men Only contains a pair of great tales in "Yank Who Led Burma's Nude Nymph Commandos" and "Hot-Blooded Gang Girl."

"She was a no-limit girl with a taste for off-limit men..." Thus reads the scintillating intro from a special book bonus from "Kill and Run Nude" by Richard Deming, published in For Men Only, July 1964 issue. Lurid art by Al Rossi.

"They had a million stolen dollars to split between the four of them - and a sensuous, lazy-legged blonde as a bonus for the one who stayed alive." "Hot-Blooded Gang Girl" - an excerpt from Robert Page Jones' "The Heisters" - as it appeared in the April 1964 issue of For Men Only. Art by Al Rossi.

I don't get it - the people themselves changed to metal? Who's invading who here? Are the newfound metal people doing the invading, or just some ingrates from Rigel looking to cash in on the boom in precious space metals? I'm confused. Airmont SF4 - Invaders From Rigel by Fletcher Pratt, 1964.

The diminutive Atom faces Chronos and his exploding wrist watch. The Atom - Issue No. 13, July 1964. Cover art by Gil Kane and Murphy Anderson.
