Tahitian Bronze and Bosomy

Malia is looking for a husband, and any man will do! I’m assuming the reader will hope he is the one who will do. The article states that there are nine women for every man on the island, so you have a pretty good chance of attracting one of these exotic ladies. This issue of King’s Man 1960 has a number of ‘Island Girl’ spreads; Malia’s article features only one brown-eyed, raven-haired ‘Polynesian lovely.’ I like her black and white pictorial, obviously with color you can get the rich island hues but I think the shadows and contrast really work. What a tropical babe! Enjoy!

Illustrations from King’s Man 1960

Last week my laptop crashed and I lost everything, it’s a sad and stressful experience. I feel silly about the sense of loss. The good thing is I have physical copies of my magazines and can scan whatever I might need again, but scanning and editing takes hours, so it’s unfortunate that the work was lost. I am still figuring out what might be still around and what I will need to ready again. So this week I thought I would post illustrations from King’s Man, mostly because I haven’t featured the rad illustrations these magazines offer yet. There’s not too many in the mag but I love the 60’s art. I’d like to feature more of the art from the mags, I hope it’s interesting to you; please comment if you like them and want more. Enjoy!
