It's been awhile, but we've got a new magazine in the Gallery! Thank you to the generous Cyber Sleuth for sharing with us!

Fury started out a cousin to the girlie mag: one of those "men's adventures" publications. Such mags were prevalent in the 50's and 60's. Not much in the way of nudity, they usually included painted covers of heroic, stubble-faced he-men saving beautiful women in ridiculous bondage situations from Nazis soldiers. In fact, Fury's publisher, J.B. Publications, devoted itself almost exclusively to the genre. Eventually, they branched out and in 1962, started replacing cover images of Hitler and his ilk with scantily-clad women who were not captives of the Nazis.

Somewhere in-between girlie mags and men's adventure mags was the "men's lifestyle" magazines, and this is where Fury found itself: a collection of articles that would appeal to men with an almost begrudging acknowledgement that they had to include some nudity to survive on the newsstand. They weren't going along willingly, mind you. There are two rather tepid pictorials starring Laura White and a woman named Joan (no last name given). The rest of the magazine still wanted to cater to the adventurous he-man (or he-man wannabe). There are some interesting articles from Ben Wolf, John Remington, Ferdric Brown, John Rublowsky, Alan Hynd, and even one from Ian Fleming. So take a look at another viewpoint in what makes a men's magazine.
