Men\'s adventure is a genre of magazine that was published in the United States from the 1940s until the early 1970s.
Catering to a male audience, these magazines featured pin-up girls and lurid tales of adventure that typically featured wartime feats of daring, exotic travel or conflict with wild animals.
These magazines were also colloquially called \"armpit slicks\", \"men\'s sweat magazines\" or \"the sweats\", especially by people in the magazine publishing or distribution trades.
Pulp magazines (also referred to as \"the pulps\") were inexpensive fiction magazines that were published from 1896 to the late 1950s.
The term \"pulp\" derives from the cheap wood pulp paper on which the magazines were printed.
In contrast, magazines printed on higher-quality paper were called \"glossies\" or \"slicks\".
The typical pulp magazine had 128 pages; it was 7 inches (18 cm) wide by 10 inches (25 cm) high, and 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) thick, with ragged, untrimmed edges.
The pulps gave rise to the term pulp fiction in reference to run-of-the-mill, low-quality literature.
Pulps were the successors to the penny dreadfuls, dime novels, and short-fiction magazines of the 19th century.
Although many respected writers wrote for pulps, the magazines were best known for their lurid, exploitative, and sensational subject matter, even though this was but a small part of what existed in the pulps.
Successors of pulps include paperback books, digest magazines, and men\'s adventure magazines.
Modern superhero comic books are sometimes considered descendants of \"hero pulps\"; pulp magazines often featured illustrated novel-length stories of heroic characters, such as Flash Gordon, The Shadow, Doc Savage, and The Phantom Detective.
