The MEN’S ADVENTURE QUARTERLY #10, the Vietnam War Issue (full color edition)
The MEN’S ADVENTURE QUARTERLY #10, the Vietnam issue, reprints some of the best men’s adventure magazine stories about the Vietnam War published in the 1960s and 1970s. They include a story by Mario Puzo, author of THE GODFATHER, first published under the pseudonym he used for the many MAM stories he wrote early in his career, Mario Cleri and a story about Barry Sadler and his song “Ballad of the Green Berets.” In addition to story reprints, MAQ #10 features a special Art Gallery section showcasing other Vietnam War cover paintings by Mel Crair, articles about Vietnam War novel series by vintage paperback expert and writer Paul Bishop, author Nicholas Cain’s account of the making of the movie based on his novel SAIGON COMMANDOS, a photo feature about Raquel Welch’s 1967 USO Tour to Vietnam with Bob Hope, and a unique article by MAQ Co-Editor and designer Bill Cunningham about the now nearly forgotten PS MAGAZINE comics designed to educate GI’s about preventive maintenance on their guns, featuring artwork by Will Eisner, creator of THE SPIRIT.
The MAQ is an 8″x10″ paperback with 171 pages printed on high quality paper. If you buy the full color print edition via this bookstore, shipping in the US is free. I don’t ship internationally via this site, but I do via my eBay listings, at this link.
Print and Digital Replica ebook editions of MAQ #10 are available on Amazon in the US, Amazon UK, Amazon Australia, Amazon Canada, Amazon Germany, and other Amazons worldwide.
