Bad Mags Vol I & II: Your Sleaze Desk Reference

The porn magazines in the 60s and 70s were some of the raunchiest reads around; you found them everywhere, few publishers of these pulp nasties were around longer than a couple years, some only staying in business for months at a time before they were eventually dismembered, disbanded, and inevitably, discontinued. Vintage porn and weird pulp magazines of the 60′s and 70′s have become eBay collector’s items, –just some of the genuinely good shit you can find on a marketplace run by scam artists and people who have the art of con down to a complex science.

So this sleaze aficionado, Tom Brinkmann took it upon himself to start a massive collection of ‘bad mags’, and I guess the library of raunch got so huge, he figured he ought to let us in on the complexities of collecting pulp magazines. And thank god! No one has a better library of freaky shit, whether it’s porno, Sharon Tate and Manson Family speculation stories, or Satanic babes posing in pentagrams with impossibly cinched waists. He catalogs a history of sleazy magazines, and modestly claims his work is nowhere near a complete list of every ‘bad mag’ out there. While that may be true, it’s the closest damn thing we have to a complete desk reference of slasher/crime mags, and porn rags from decades long lost in the annals of porn history.

Bad Mags Vol. 1 is sold out currently from Headpress Publications, but Tom Brinkmann found it within his twisted little heart to actually write a Bad Mags Vol. 2, –which is presently available from the same publisher. To list just a few of the choice 60s/70s vintage occult porno mags he reveals in the book, there’s Bitchcraft, Sextrology, The Devil Made Me Do It, Witches & Bitches, Satana, and Satan Sex Ceremonies. If you’re not hooked yet then the only thing that can possible convince is the gallery! So check it out!
