Amazon has a whole book of these fantastic lurid magazine covers, It’s A Man’s World.

They run the gamut from Man attacked by Animals, Man attacked by Fish, Man attacked by Nazis, and Man attacked by Hippies.

The greatest, however, is an image of a mad Nazi doktor sawing off a girl’s arm, his “special” assistant is bringing him the freshly removed (and bandaged!) arm of a gorilla, which is seen sulking morosely in a cage in the background.

Too right you are friend Haux. This is quite possibly the best image I’ve seen a while which, considering the madness I deposit here on a regular basis, is no mean feat. It’s A Man’s World is currently available for ridiculously cheap; having just purchased a copy I suggest you do the same. A high res version of the above image is available upon request.

Centuries from now, when the civilizations of man have long since crumbled to dust and our planet, a crater-pocked, blasted heath, stands as a warning to fledgling civilizations, a team of alien scientists will unearth this work of Brandon Bird, recognizing it as one of the truly great masterpieces produced during the time of man.
