Dian Hanson Livres

Get beneath the tight jeans of Tom of Finland's working-class heroes with this pocket-sized package of blue-collar lovers. With a brawny lineup of multi-panel comics and single-panel drawings and paintings, as well as photographs and sketches, this neat little book explores the tough physical types who fascinated Tom since his very first crush.

The definitive annotated and illustrated history of girlie periodicals (1958-1967) Volume III begins with an explosion of new American men's magazines following the redefinition of US obscenity laws in the late fifties. We examine the enormous impact of Playboy, not only on American titles, but on magazines worldwide. This is the decade when France finally declines as a great force in magazine production; England starts to show her pervy side; Argentina embraces burlesque; and Germany once again blends political activism with nudity. By 1965 even Australia has a booming men's magazine industry. The volume ends with a look at those great back-of-the-magazine ads for party pills and the first inflatable ?dates?. The History of Men's Magazines, Volume III contains over 400 full color pages of vintage covers and interiors and a well-researched text profiling quirky publishers and artists, individual magazines, and the place of it all in the Swinging Sixties culture.

Criminal justice never looked so good as in this pocket-sized collection of Tom of Finland's favorite tightly uniformed cops and suitably butch criminals. Multi-panel comics and single-panel drawings and paintings are contextualized with sketches, reference images, and personal photos of Tom.

After WWII the U.S. assumed men's magazine dominance. This volume documents that rise from 1946 through 1959, in over 650 covers and interiors, including burlesque magazines, a rare title for Black men, the first fetish magazines, the launch of Playboy, and some timid English and Latin American offerings.

En 1924, le genre des magazines de détective "true crime" est né et a prospéré jusqu'à sa disparition au milieu des années 1990, évoluant dans toute sa gloire.
