Description
"Walter Kaylin, come back!" - Mario Puzo, author of The Godfather
"He looked like a divinity student, always buttoned up. Then the stories would come in. They were special ... seamless and outrageous and wonderful. I let him do whatever he wanted and he rarely, if ever, disappointed. He really deserves a tribute. I think of him as a treasure."
-Bruce Jay Friedman (Stern, Lucky Bruce), Kaylin's editor at Men, Male and True Action
Scores of great authors wrote for men's adventure pulps - Elmore Leonard, Jim Thompson, Richard Matheson, Lawrence Block and Harlan Ellison, to name a few. But the one writers for Man's World and True Action envied most was Walter Kaylin.
Leaving an indelible mark on three decades of sweat-soaked pulp fiction, Walter Kaylin tackled testosterone-fueled subjects from Westerns to war, secret agents to sex sirens, Nazis to noir. His frequently over-the-top plots and characters scaled new heights of ingenuity and invention, while setting the standard for the kind of unapologetic savagery and excess that made men's adventure magazines notorious - then and now.
Robert Deis of MensPulpMags.com and Wyatt Doyle (Stop Requested), editors of the acclaimed Weasels Ripped My Flesh! anthology, rescue a whopping 15 high-intensity Kaylin classics from pulp fiction purgatory, along with the jaw-dropping illustrations that accompanied their original magazine publication ... plus reminiscences by Kaylin, his family, and his former editor, writer Bruce Jay Friedman.
He-Men, Bag Men & Nymphos rips the lid off the pulps' best kept secret to introduce Kaylin's unique brand of tension and tough-guy thrills to a new generation of readers. But be warned: These are not stories for the delicate, or faint of heart. He-Men, Bag Men & Nymphos hits like a clenched fist; get yours or get out of the way!
