Summertime. When thoughts turn to sun, sand, surf...
and sharks!
Just in time for beach season,
Men's Adventure Library
editors
Robert Deis
and
Wyatt Doyle
dive deep into long unseen shark-themed pulp fiction and savage full-color illustration art drawn from three decades of classic
men's adventure magazines
(or
MAMs
), most out of print since their original publication. In addition, these graphic, action-packed tales of shark encounters are paired with commentary and mythbusting by a celebrated panel of contemporary shark experts who separate the stories' fact from fiction.
"My God, the Sharks Got the Women!"..."Shark-Battling Dolphins Saved My Life"..."A Man-Eating Shark Pack Against Scuba Divers"..."The Headhunting Shark That Destroyed a Texas Family"..."The Sharks Got My Legs"...
Wild, untamed shark fiction and hard-nosed shark science collide in one high-octane, full color collection. There's never been a book like it!
Sharks and hard-boiled shark hysteria were an integral part of MAMs from the very beginning, regularly appearing as villains across the magazines' three-decade lifespan, in stories by the likes of GODFATHER author
Mario Puzo
Robert Edmond Alter
, and in the killer covers and interior art by pantheon illustration artists like
Mort Künstler
Samson Pollen
.
In addition to expert commentary and critiques, a preface by
Steve Cheskin
, creator of Discovery's
Shark Week
, and an afterword by MEGA SHARK VS. GIANT OCTOPUS director
"Ace Hannah"
(
Jack Perez
) affirm the sturdy bloodlines between the shark terror of yesterday and today's sharkmania.
MANEATERS is available as a 170-page softcover and as a 192-page expanded hardcover with additional content.
