Man's magazine with pin-ups, cartoons, features and fiction. At various times it spun off associated magazines with the same basic format called Man Junior and Pocket Man, as well as a pair of British reprint editions called The Man and Man Senior.

British reprint edition of the Australian magazines Man and Pocket Man. For the first couple of issues, the magazine had no advertising whatsoever, had good quality card covers, featured re-edited and selected material that previously appeared in Australia together with editorials specially written for the British market, and carried the full title of "The Man, Empire Magazine for Men".

With the Feb-1939 issue, however, it dropped the sub-title, changed to digest format, and became a direct reprint of the Australian magazine (albeit in a different format) including all the original Australian advertisements. It was probably suspended at some point during World War II and, following the creation of Pocket Man in Australia, it started reprinting issues of that magazine, with the original issues of Man now being reprinted in a new magazine called Man Senior.

American reprint edition of the Australian magazine Man, printed in Australia, containing re-edited material that had previously appeared in the Australian magazine and carrying no advertising of any kind.

Launched in 1952 by journalist John Taylor as a spin-off from The Tailor & Cutter, a trade journal, Man About Town is usually described as the first magazine for men published in the UK, although it was concerned mostly with fashion, unlike men's magazines then starting to appear in the USA. In 1960 it was taken over by Clive Labovitch and Michael Heseltine (later an MP) and published initially by a subsidiary of their Cornmarket Press, Fame Magazine Ltd. The magazine was glossy, well designed and tapped into the growing sixties scene with photography by Terence Donovan and David Bailey.

(sample issue only)

Publishers:   International Publications, Inc.

Manhunt boasted it was the world's best-selling crime fiction magazine, and was certainly the "gold standard" against which all other "tough" crime magazines of the period measured themselves. Starting in January 1953 as a monthly digest, it flirted briefly (from March 1957 to May 1958) with a larger format to enhance newstand sales. The latter was not a success however and it soon reverted to digest size and dropped to bimonthly. In all it ran for almost 15 years and notched up a very respectable 114 issues.

From January 1953 to March 1956 the cover read Manhunt Detective Story Monthly, but the magazine was always called just Manhunt in the table of contents.
