Brief description: ROBERT DEIS owns one of the world's largest collections of vintage men's adventure magazines (MAMs) published in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. In 2009, he created a popular blog about the genre, MensPulpMags.com. A few years later, Bob and Wyatt Doyle of New Texture launched The Men's Adventure Library, a series of books that feature classic MAM pulp fiction stories and artwork. That series now includes nearly 20 lushly illustrated story anthologies and art books. In recent years, Bob and Wyatt have been featured speakers at PulpFest, and Bob was listed in the book WHO'S WHO IN NEW PULP. Starting in 2021, Bob began working with Bill Cunningham, head of Pulp 2.0 Press, to publish a magazine that features MAM stories and artwork, called the MEN'S ADVENTURE QUARTERLY. He has contributed articles about MAMs to various magazines and fanzines and also writes two blogs about famous quotations, ThisDayinQuotes.com and QuoteCounterquote.com. Bob lives near Key West, Florida with his wife BJ (who graciously tolerates his fascination with vintage MAMs), their three dogs, and four cats.

"This is a beautiful, beautiful edition. Just stunning. Loaded with photos, interviews, artwork...these are great stories." Gary Lovisi
"One of the most beautifully produced books I've ever seen, with more cover reproductions and interior illustrations, better printing, full color, and updated and expanded articles and story introductions. I'll be honest with you, I was just going to skim through this new edition and read the updated material, but time and again, I found myself stopping to reread and enjoy all over again some of the stories. I give it my highest recommendation." James Reasoner
