I cannot see the insides of these mags and will base my assumption on boyhood memory that the contents were probably mostly black and white on a pulpy paper similar to comic book paper. There may have been a few pages stuck in the middle in color that featured the cover girl or some other nubile tart. The stories were men’s stories of the time: detective tales, how to be a better lover, exposes into the world of crime or drugged up hippies and such. Scattered through the mag were really cool advertisements for all sorts of strange things and I am researching the net trying to find good scans of some of these ad pages. It is not easy. But I will not give up.

I guess these gals are not as smolderingly perfect as the vixens that grace contemporary erotica (aka porn) but there is some quality I really find alluring about them. They are not skinny nor do they look like meth or heroin addicts. More the gin and tonic type with some barbiturates once in a while for a socially acceptable nod time. I really like the first picture of the girl on the European looking sports car. What a great magazine title: Scamp. It is simply a good photograph and she looks really coquettish and demure in a naughty fashion. And I want to read that article about how to get flabby without really trying. In fact, I think I did read it!

The next two books do not even have cover teasers to lure you into their pages with promises of exciting reading material. I like the design on these books though. I am sure zebra skin is going to make a come back as a sofa pattern for bachelor’s apartments again pretty soon. I really dig that jazzy font for Vivid Tales. That girl is a real down to earth party girl I think. The kind your mother would like. Well, that my mother would like anyway.

All the Adam magazines had these vibrant covers with contrasting lines of color and the models were more times than not in some outfit that made it all vibrate and shake more, like some Victor Wassily painting. I have more Adam covers in albums in the thumbnail gallery in the next post if you are curious. And why wouldn’t you be? So go on, take a look big boy. You know you want to.
