Young Women Driven To Crime To Satisfy Their Wanton Desires!

Whether they were called Juvenile Delinquents (or JDs), Gun Molls, Prison Brides, Motorcycle Mamas, or Hot Rod Honeys, they were all “Gang Girls” and the tough-as-nails subject of this issue of MEN’S ADVENTURE QUARTERLY.

In post World War II America, teens were pushing the boundaries of what was considered acceptable behavior, and causing major concern amongst parents and the government. The Kefauver Commission in Congress held hearings to discover the root causes of juvenile delinquency, but this “problem” wasn’t only in America, as Teens around the globe pushed their boundaries. Of course, the men’s adventure magazines, paperbacks, and B-movies all saw yet another genre of crime, violence and sex to exploit for their hungry audiences. MEN’S ADVENTURE QUARTERLY takes on the Gang Girl genre in all its forms giving you a peek at the evolution of female outlaws in a variety of media who live beyond the polite boundaries of society. Joining us in this expose’ of female crime are retromedia expert Jules Burt, and pulp culture author Andrew Nette both of whom provide a comprehensive perspective on Gang Girls from the UK and the AU.

Get ready to enjoy the best in Gang Girl stories and articles ripped from the headlines and the pages of men’s adventure magazines.

The Cool World Broken Pencil Review

 

All Or Nothing - Jason Brummell

HOUSE OF THE SUAVE

UK

FIRST PRINTING 2013

  

Dig the new Breed baby!

It's 1966. All or Nothing dips its beautifully shod toes (clad in Ravel basket-weaves) into a time when the Modernist high street jewels of '63 have gone underground and leaving the spotlight to the new and the brash, unaware of their parody of what once was so pure.

Whilst London is swinging and the country is getting World Cup fever. The Government are increasingly concerned with the very real possibility of a devalued Pound and the need for the impending re-payment of part of the Marshall plan loans to the US.

In the midst of the high street peacock revolution one of the original faces returns to these shores after three years and sees the changes of the past. Amidst the world of the Government and the ruling classes an interloper sees the changes that are coming.

Both are drawn to each other, first through grief, then mutual respect and ultimately a belief in remaining true to the Modernist desire to change the natural order of things. Naturally this doesn't go unnoticed.

The ripples from those beautiful shoes spread far and wide!

Jerry Cotton - Nichts Ist Spannender

ISSUE 2609

EUROPE 2007

Issued in 11 European countries, this detective magazine has been going since the 1940s and from what I have seen of them, they use a photograph from various films for the cover that has nothing to do with the actual story inside and are all non-English language publications. This issue as you can see has "The Warriors" on the cover and that is why it's here, the story isn't JD but the cover is. These are probably more of interest to collectors of movie related books and digests, especially the early issues as the photo covers are pretty cool.
