-----Original Message----- From: Bill Crider I hadn't known
that Mario Puzo wrote millions of words them, and they lasted
until well into the 1970s.
--I was able, as a sprat, to see the likes of SAGA and TRUE
in the early
'70s in the barber shops I frequented...ARGOSY, too, though
it had moved away from the True Men's Adventure focus by its
end (hey, a new elaborate version of ARGOSY, as a fiction
magazine, is starting up). They weren't quite as, shall we
say, fervid as MAN, but perhaps that's part of why they
staggered into the '70s...
The most startling thing about these magazines, perhaps, is
that in the work that Avram Davidson published in at least
some of them was actually, to the best of his ability to make
it so, true. TM
